Gunfleet Sailing Club attracted seventeen entries to the first pursuit race of the season, for the Ken Potts Trophy, on Sunday 17 May 2026.  The race, which had a fixed finish time, saw a number of staggered starts with the Topper dinghies the first away.  In a south-westerly wind, blowing force 3 to 4, Finley Taylor lead as they beat down the coast to the St. Michael's buoy with Debbie Chivers hot on his heels.
