In a strong position coming into the last day, Mike Martin and Adam Lowry put in another superb performance to take the 2016 505 World Championship crown.
Michael Wilson and Phil Hardisty took the inaugural Classic Championships, having put in two strong performances in the windy weather to overhaul the early leaders.
Congratulations to them and all the other sailors, who have enjoyed an excellent week of sailing at the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy. Thanks too to the army of volunteers, on and off the water, who made the event so good.

2016 Optimist National Championship Results
Pixel
The Pixel is a boat for the new century. It is stable, roomy, fast and self-bailing – a giant step into the future of small boat design. It is designed as a junior trainer, but has the legroom and capacity for adult enjoyment as well.The 13′ 9″ sloop was designed by Bruce Kirby, who also designed the Laser, a series of highly sucessful International dinghies, the Sonar and the Ideal 18.
As a fun, fast boat that has the best that modern technology and design can offer, the PIXEL appeals to a wide range of sailors. The stable, self –bailing open cockpit is comfortable and easy to move around in keeping sailors feeling safe and in control. The epoxy hull is both lighter and stronger than traditional polyester fiberglass giving better performance and greater longevity. The carbon fiber mast means lighter weight aloft for better performance without reducing sail area. It also makes it easier for smaller sailors to rig and de-rig. Whether a “seasoned salt”, beginning sailor or somewhere in between, the PIXEL has something to offer everyone!
“The PIXEL was designed to teach kids how to sail together, how to work together, and how to interact in making the boat sail at its best.” Bruce Kirby

Isotope
The Isotope Catamaran is a registered Formula 16 boat!
The hulls meet the 16ft LOA requirements of the Formula 16HP class. The strong points of the Isotope are that its balanced helm allows it to out point any other catamaran to windward. An Isotope meeting the One Design class specifications can be raced as a single handed Formula 16 boat. An Isotope with a spinnaker can be raced with crew in the Formula 16 one up class.
