Boxing Day Bank Holiday Sail!

Posted: Monday, 28 December , 2015

Great to see so many boats out today in the unseasonably warm and bright weather, avoiding the post Christmas sales by going for a post Christmas sail! There was a good fleet of Lasers, a Topaz and an F18 catamaran out on the water in sunshine and a gusty breeze. To see more photos of today's sailing taken by Tracy and Tom Bruton, see the
full album on Facebook.

Well done to the RNLI team, who beat WYC 4-2 in the annual Boxing Day football match to win the WYC Boot this year. The match, played at Westmead Rec Ground, was a close and exciting match, and raised money for the RNLI. Better luck next year team WYC!

Atlantic Row - Setting off on Sunday, how to track their progress

Posted: Thursday, 17 December , 2015

Friends of WYC, Dan Parsons and Olly Clark, will be setting off on their Atlantic Row this Sunday after a small delay due to the weather. They'll be spending the next few months in a small (but technically advanced carbon fiber!) rowing boat, rowing hard towards Antigua, in an amazing mental and physical challenge! You can track their progress online and keep up to date on their progress at atlantic-row.com, and donate to their chosen charities at virginmoneygiving.com. Raise a glass to them when you're sitting down to your Christmas dinner, and they're rowing into the middle of the Atlantic Ocean!
