A-Raters Racing on the River Thames: A Glimpse of High-Performance Sailing
Watch a short clip of the Thames A-Raters in action on the River Thames. These high-performance sailing dinghies are specifically designed for the unique challenges of river racing. With a history spanning over 150 years, the A-Raters blend traditional craftsmanship with the latest in carbon fiber technology to deliver top-tier competitive class racing.
The Thames A-Raters have two primary homes along the river, one of which is at the Upper Thames Sailing Club, where I am a proud member. Most weekends, these stunning dinghies can be seen gracefully navigating the waters, showcasing both their beauty and racing prowess.
