Reminder: Topaz for sale

Posted: Tuesday, 22 March , 2016

Do you want a new boat for the new sailing season? The Topaz Uno demonstration boats that Wild Times have been using are now 2 years old, and Topper are selling them off at a very good discount. There are 5 boats to sell, all of which have been well maintained by Topper and Wild Times, and so are in excellent condition. The selling price represents a discount of almost half the price of a similar spec'ed new boat, so these are a very good deal! The details and pricing can be downloaded here, and if you're interested please contact Russ at Topper at russ.dent@toppersailboats.com or 07775 923655.

Great start to the 2016 season!

Posted: Sunday, 13 March , 2016

The annual Working Party was held on Saturday and the first race on Sunday, and we had a cracking weekend for it! Lots of members came along on Saturday to give the club a spring clean and get it ready for the new year. Thanks to everyone who took part and made light work of all the jobs!
On Sunday we had a great turn out for April Showers 1. 18 boats were on the start line, from Wanderers to F18 catamarans for the first race. Despite the higher than forecast wind, everyone had a great time on the water. Race results will be published shortly.
If we can get more weekends like this, we'll have a great 2016 season! Next weekend we have races on Saturday and Sunday, both with 11am starts.
