Monday 9th to Friday 13th August

Last Sunday we had our first Cadet training session and races this season. After an on-shore briefing, observing social distancing, 13 boats and 20 sailors took to the water. It was great to see again our enthusiastic Cadets plus welcoming Daniel to our squad.  We began with our usual warm-up; sailing a tight figure-of-eight course and moving onto rapid tacking. The Cadets then practised their starts before competing in three races.  Great sailing and great kids!

Training on Sunday 16^th August – Briefing at 9.15

On Fri 31/7/20 Travellers were prevented from gaining access to Club grass car park via Dinghy park.In order to attempt to avoid this occurring again the Dinghy park gates are to remain closed and locked when not in use during weekdays and will only remain constantly open between 2 hours before race start time and 4 hours after over the weekends. This is an inconvenience but not as much or as expensive as if unwanted persons attend.The broken gap between Club car park and council car park has also been temporarily fixed to prevent traffic between the two until the Council can fix it permanently.

Slipway youth nuisance has increased this year  which has been reported to both the council and local police both of whom have taken steps as a result to be proactive in their patrols. If there are further nuisances please report to local police via 101 which I appreciate can be frustrating and time consuming but what they don’t get reported to them does not get recorded or acted on. Alternatively  send me an email with details and I will update Police via the PCSO Abbie Reynolds or local Officer Pc  William Cheung.

Sunday 9th of August.
Launching from the beach at 14:30

We are delighted to announce that the club will now return to Cadet Training. This is not the Sail Training programme that the club runs but more specific coaching for cadets and indeed adults, who have a basic sailing knowledge and keen to learn more boat handling skills and some race craft.

A Risk Assessment has been completed as required for the Covid 19 issues, as for all club activities. The link to this is below.
