Posted: Friday, 25 July , 2008

Again following the previous postponement, we have rescheduled this final improver training session . The idea is to have 2 or 3 short all-in fun mini-races to practice all those skills learned during this seasons improver training course. You should be changed, rigged and ready for a briefing at 10-00hrs with racing starting at 11-00hrs. If you have not attended the training course you can still join in.

Capsize and Barbecue Party - Saturday 9th August

Posted: Friday, 25 July , 2008

Oh no….you can't get away from it! This event is being rescheduled following the postponement of the last Improver Training session. Practicing capisze recovery is important particularly for those new to sailing. So after racing at about 16-30hrs there will be a supervised capsize recovery practice session after a shore-side briefing. Then the excitement reaches fever pitch at about 18-00hrs when there will be an open DIY barbecue. Interested parties please let contact Andrew Folkard, especially if you plan to bring some food! (P.S. The capize is not compulsory)

Hi everyone, We need a couple of volunteers to help out during the day on 26th July.

It will just be a matter of pouring teas and coffees for our thirsty sailors. Any help would be much appreciated. Please contact the office and I will pass your name on to Sandra in the kitchen.
