22nd October 2020 Dear Members Many thanks for your support of the Club this summer. As we get to the close of the season I think many of us should be grateful that our sport/hobby was one that was less impacted than others. It wasn’t ideal, it was a bit different but I hope many…

With the nights drawing in, our Wednesday evening dinghy sessions have come to an end for the season. We are still out on a Saturday afternoon 13:30 – 16:00 for informal dinghy sailing sessions with safety boat cover, at least until the end of October. Hope to see you there!

23rd September 2020 Hi All, We’ve been having some great dinghy sailing on Wednesday evenings and Saturday afternoons, with some games, trips, informal races and casual coaching too.

Dear Members Dinghy Sailing It’s been great to see quite a few members getting involved in the twice weekly dinghy sessions. Thanks to all those who have volunteered to help run these and to everyone for doing their best to keep within the guidelines for safe sailing. We’ll continue these through the remaining part of…

Dear Members Our first proper outing on the water as a club was yesterday with 7 dinghies out for a great sail in a stiff breeze and full sunshine (I know, because I ended the day with a red nose!). Pictures on our social media accounts. Thanks to everyone who contributed to make this happen…

Dear MembersI very much hope that we can get sailing as a club this coming week. This will be for dinghies only and we’ll have safety boat cover on the water. As you can imagine, we can’t do things in the way we are normally used to. We’ve been doing some work behind the scenes –…

Dear Members I hope you are all well and getting through this lockdown period.  As a club we’ve been rather quiet but hopefully some of you have been able to participate in the eRegattas that we sent information out about. You will have seen in the news that we are now able to get back…
