And the fleets’ growth is not restricted to Cowes, with over 10 boats built by the 3 registered builders worldwide, 5 of which were from David Heritages workshop in Cowes, making the World Wide fleet over 1420 boats, most of which still compete regularly in Europe, the USA, Australia, New Zealand and of course Hong Kong where the 2015 Worlds will be held, before the UK holds the 2016 edition at Weymouth.

The addictive nature of sailing Etchells is such that many UK owners throughout the World to compete in other continents, Miami is the destination of choice for a monthly weekends sailing fix for some Cowes owners, many of whom have 2nd boats there, or take advantage of the inexpensive charter fees.

UK Winners this year were Ante Razmilovic Europeans, overall and Corinthian, Nationals Nils Razmilovic Open Champion, David Franks British champion and Jack Muldoon Corinthian. Other Championship winners were Shaun Frohlich and Rob Goddard who both also won the 2014 Seasons  Cowes Fleet League table overall and Corinthian respectively, Jeremy Thorp a newcomer to the fleet, and Nick Stagg overall Cowes week winner and Mark Downer Corinthian.
