The Sigma 38 Class Association is celebrating after becoming the most active one design cruiser/racer in Europe.

The fleet currently has the second highest entry of any class in the Fastnet Race and will appear at the Royal Corinthian Vice Admiral’s Regatta in May, with only Farr 45s and Quarter Tonners also chosen to participate.

Association chairman Nigel Goodhew made the announcement at the class’ 22nd annual dinner, which took place on Saturday at the Solent Spa Hotel and was attended by 140 members.
