WYC Dominate Podium at Wanderers Inland Champs

Posted: Monday, 06 October, 2008

Whitstable boats took two of the top three places in a fleet of 20 Wanderers in the Inland Championships at Bewl Valley SC over the weekend. In very breezy conditions Gavin Barr successfully defended his title, crewed by Paul Cross. Chris Partington and Jack Skipper "sailed a blinder" to take 3rd place, beating several top Wanderer class sailors in the process. Well done Team WYC!

Webcam

Posted: Thursday, 25 September, 2008

I know of lot of you use the webcam but unfortunately we seem to have a connection problem with this at the moment. The whole system is under review and hopefully it will prove more reliable in the future. I have turned on and off nearly everything I can, have changed our wireless connection and jiggled around with wires but it still seems to be breaking down on a regular basis. I can only apologise and promise you a better system in the future. I will speak to our IT bods tomorrow. Melanie.
