The European Kite Buggy Championships took place last week (September 16th to 20th) on Texel, one of the Frisian Islands in the Netherlands. This marked a historic milestone as the first Euros held in four years, and the first hosted in Holland in over two decades.
A dedicated team of 7 GB pilots—comprising one female and six male riders—along with their supporters, travelled to the event. Following a sunny practice day on Wednesday, high-wind conditions took over for the next three days. With winds largely exceeding 30mph, mixed with sudden squalls and heavy rain, competitors faced gruelling racing conditions that led to several aborted starts.
Buggycamp Holland delivered a fantastic event, supported by a 25-strong team of helpers who ran operations like clockwork every single day. Due to the 2km race track on Texel's Laguna Beach—situated in the shadow of its famous lighthouse—being unable to safely accommodate all 50 pilots at once, the fleet was split daily into two random groups of around 25 participants. Small dunes developed over the four days, adding an extra layer of excitement for the spectators watching along the beach.
Stellar Results
Following a nail-biting final race, Team GB’s own Ryan McGavin emerged as the overall Men's European Champion, 17 years after attending his first Euros in St. Peter-Ording, Germany.
In the women's competition, Karen Cutbush secured an impressive second place after a fierce battle with Dutch overall ladies' champion Sarah Koppes.

Clamcleats Ltd has expanded its insert cleat range to 8 styles, allowing designers to press-fit high-strength aluminium cleats directly into custom-moulded plastic housings for compact cord management.
New Insert Cleat Models
CL718: Optimized for 2–4mm line
CL721: Optimized for 2mm line
CL724: Optimized for 1mm line
The 3 new insert cleats combine the durability and holding power of aluminium teeth with the low weight of a plastic outer structure. They are designed to push-fit straight into a pre-moulded cavity after plastic injection or fabrication. This enables space saving within the product and will works down to 1mm cords in extremely tight or low-profile enclosures.

Top-20 world-ranked racer, 3x UK Wingfoiling Champion, and Defi Triple Crown podium finisher Rafferty Read recently put the new CL289Kit/R Harness Line to the test. A dominant force on the racing circuit, Read brings extensive high-level experience from windsurf racing and the Olympic iQFOiL class. Designed by Guy Cribb, this adjustable setup features two wrap-around webbing straps—one equipped with a tube-covered rope loop and the other with an aluminium insert cleat for effortless height adjustments on the water. By transferring the wing's load directly through your core, the system significantly reduces arm fatigue, while the clever positioning of the cleat minimizes the risk of damage during high-speed wipe-outs. Engineered for performance and durability, the moulded body keeps weight to an absolute minimum while its aluminium teeth maximize load capacity and wear resistance. Ready off the shelf.

Anna Burnet and John Gimson are among Great Britain’s most decorated mixed multihull sailors, having established themselves as a dominant force in the Nacra 17 class. The Olympic silver medalists (Tokyo 2020) and multi-time World Champions have consistently defined elite performance on the water—most recently competing at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games before celebrating their marriage later that year.
Over the past few years, Anna and John have worked closely with us to develop and test the new CL290 Titanium Trapeze Cleat, which is now in full production.
Engineered from titanium with no moving parts, this aerodynamic, ultralight cleat weighs just 21g and measures only 46mm in length—slashing both size and weight by nearly 50% compared to conventional trapeze cleats.

The 21-boat Nacra 17 fleet raced a nine-race series with one discard. Due to a lack of wind, no final series was held. John and Anna dominated from the start. By the midpoint of the regatta, they had secured four race wins and a ten-point lead, never looking back.
“We are really happy to take the win at Kiel Week. We had plenty of light winds, which meant a lot of movement on the trapeze. It was exciting to be racing with the new titanium cleats—they're beautifully smooth to use and perfect for keeping the drag and weight down,” explained Anna Burnet, who, along with John Gimson, was the driving force behind developing the new CL290 Titanium Trapeze cleat.
The Clamcleat® CL290 Titanium Trapeze cleat and handle are designed for ultimate pro sailors. Engineered from titanium with no moving parts, this aerodynamic, lightweight trapeze cleat weighs only 21g and is just 46mm in length—reducing its size and weight by nearly 50% compared to conventional trapeze cleats. Designed for use with composite trapeze lines, the top section's halo ring design allows for extra grip, meaning sailors with strong hands may not even need the low-profile aerodynamic handle. For sailors who require extra surface area for a secure two-finger grip during constant adjustments, ergonomic handles are available. Aerodynamics were a critical part of the design, specifically optimizing airflow across both the side of the cleat when trapezing and the back of the cleat on the leeward side.
