The OB Sailing Club has a good track record of winning the Arrow Trophy Open Sailing competition, coming first three years in a row in 2002, 2003 and 2004.  The event, which attracts between 15 and 20 schools, takes place on the challenging waters of the Solent aboard sleek Sunfast 37ft yachts with a maximum crew of eight permitted.

The race format is short fleet racing on Saturday finishing up in Cowes late afternoon, with the Arrow Trophy Dinner at the Royal Corinthian Yacht Club in the evening.

On the Sunday, the top four schools from the fleet races go into a series of match races to determine the overall winner, whilst the remaining competitors fleet race to determine the winner of the Charterhouse Bowl.
