2025 SEVENSTAR CONTEST CUP

QUITE A WEEKEND!

Well, that was a quite a weekend! In mixed winds but mostly storm cloud conditions, the 2025 Sevenstar Contest Cup sailed out of Medemblik 6-8 June proved the truth of that adage that there’s no such thing as bad weather if you have the right kit. And if you want to be comfortable out on open water, that includes not just your foul weather gear but the actual yacht you’re on, and as ever the Contest fleet proved the real deal, with the racing playing out fantastically, never mind the flats and squalls!

Split between three classes, the 21-strong fleet enjoyed two good races on the Saturday and another on Sunday, delivering overall wins to Class 1 (>40ft) Contest 42CS Beluga 2, Class 2 (>40ft Classics) Contest 50CS Astridr, and Class 3 (<40ft) Contest 37 Stella Maris. And everyone celebrated, not just on behalf of the victors, but each other’s own personal successes in such weather. There was talk too, of course, of coming back for more at next year’s Cup.

Shoreside, the weather had brought much of the dockside activities indoors to our spiritual regatta clubhouse, Café Brakeboer, to include this year a lively ‘pub quiz’ as well as more wild dance partying after an excellent dinner at local restaurant Shun.

Well done, everybody … and if you weren’t there, then do come and join us next year, set for 5-7 June 2026!
