There are still a number of Dinghies in the North of the Dinghy Park.

• If you have not paid for Winter Storage or Racing, you must remove your Dinghy by Friday PM latest.
• If you have paid and storing or racing your Dinghy, you still need to ensure Rows K, L, M and N are clear for lift out early Saturday Morning.

If you are unable to move your Dinghy in time, please ask a friend to help you, or contact your class captain or Sailing Committee to arrange assistance. The website and Facebook are good ways to ask for assistance should you find yourself unable to fulfil your club commitments.

It is simply unfair to leave it to others helping at lift out to clear Saturday morning and may result in a fine (Club Rules, Bye-law 3.1g).

This Sunday, 26th October, Sandhoppers will be lifted-out between roughly 7 am and 9 am.
For safety reasons (and at the tele-handler operators request), there will be absolutely no entry to the dinghy park or grass car park by foot or car during lifting.
Thank you

Sailing Committee has agreed that on Saturday 18th October the Autumn Access Trophy (resail) will be run as the first race – this will also count for series points

A Date for your Diary

Christmas Cards, Calendars & Gifts will be on sale in the clubhouse from 11am to 2pm on both Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th October.

At SC this week it was decided to rerun 2 of the three trophies postponed earlier in the season due to poor weather.

The kings cup will be awarded to the winner of the first race tomorrow (Sunday 12th October ) and the McKinlay Cup the second race. The only change to the expected programme will be mass starts and the same course for all classes.

The results will also count towards the Sunday points series for each class as normal.

Sunday 5th October
RACING IS CANCELLED

Good morning everyone, due to the wind and today’s forecast we have made the decision to cancel racing today.

Enjoy your Sunday.

Please be aware that the Southend 10K is being held this Sunday between 10.00am – 12.00 midday. The seafront will be closed from Victoria Road through to Church Road for the duration of the race, which will effect access to the slipway. There will be up to 2000 runners taking part in the race, which supports Havens Hospices. Please co-operate with race stewards.
