Sea Racing Returns to the Northern Series at Tynemouth Sailing Club

The 2026 Northern Series for the iconic Enterprise dinghy continues later this month as the
fleet heads to the coast for the second event of the season at Tynemouth Sailing Club on
25–26 April. Following the opening event at Scammonden Water Sailing Club, the series
moves from inland waters to the dynamic sea conditions of the North Sea for what promises
to be an exciting weekend of racing

The event offers competitors a valuable opportunity to experience sea sailing conditions
ahead of the upcoming Enterprise National Championships 2026, which will take place just
across the River Tyne at South Shields Sailing Club from 23–26 May.  With the Nationals
on the horizon, the Tynemouth weekend is expected to attract a strong fleet looking to
fine-tune their performance and gain valuable coastal racing experience.

Sailing from Priors Haven at the mouth of the River Tyne, Tynemouth offers a spectacular
venue combining open sea racing, shifting tidal influences and the potential for exhilarating
planing conditions. The club has a long tradition of hosting visiting fleets and delivering
competitive yet welcoming events, making it an ideal stop on this year’s Northern Series
circuit.

The Northern Series itself forms part of the 70th anniversary celebrations for the Enterprise
class, bringing together sailors from across the UK to enjoy close racing, friendly competition
and the renowned social atmosphere the fleet is known for.

Entries for the Tynemouth event are now open, with an early bird entry discount currently
available for a limited time. Competitors are encouraged to sign up early to secure the
reduced rate and guarantee their place on the start line.

With strong racing expected, a warm welcome from the host club and the promise of classic
North Sea sailing conditions, the Tynemouth event is shaping up to be a key highlight in the
run-up to this year’s National Championships.
