Wanderer Nationals

Thanks to all club members who helped us out with last weekend's Wanderer Nationals. It is not possible to run any open event without volunteers and we really appreciate those who gave up their valuable time to help us have a great event. Mark Fagg, event organiser.

Thank you from the Merlin Rocket Class

A big thank you to all the club members, and some who were not members, who worked so hard to make the Merlin open meeting such a success at the weekend. It was a fantastic weekend's racing and the club effort was much appreciated by all the competitors, and confirmed Whitstable's position on the Merlin map. Thank you all very much indeed. John Cooper - Merlin class captain

I can see clearly now

If you have been wondering about the UFO on the webcam for the past couple of days, you will be pleased to know that we've tracked it down and exterminated it. It was a humble blob of paint. Which reminds us to say thank you to all our volunteers who just quietly get things done in the background.

Whitstable Week - Rescue Crew/Race Recorders

Just a further reminder that we are in need of helpers for Whitstable Week. We need some rescue boat crews and also a couple of recorders for the committee boat The Rescue boats will have drivers but each boat needs a helper. Good fun way of getting involved if you are not sailing. The Recorder is on the committees boat with a very close view of the sailing while in a comfy chair (what a nice way to spend a sunny day). If you can do this for a day or for the whole week let Andy Clarke or the office know (/office@wyc.org.uk). Many thanks. Melanie
