Huck Scott Winter Series Wraps Up for 2026

Published On: August 25, 2026

The 2026 Huck Scott Winter Series concluded on Saturday with another great day of sailing off Fremantle.

Across the four-round series, sailors experienced the full range of winter conditions, from zero knots through to the cancellation of racing due to a gale warning. A total of 73 boats and 82 sailors raced across 10 fleets, including the Hansa Liberty fleet at FSC for the first time.

The Hansa Liberty is a totally accessible performance craft designed for sailors of all abilities, including sailors with very limited mobility.
