and what a weekend, tail end of (now tropical storm Michael), Storm Leslie, Sandhopper Final Fling and Lift out, First races of the Winter series (13:00 Sat & 14:00 Sun) and the cruisers being lifted out Saturday morning too!
So if you have a boat paid for in the dinghy park, please ensure it is
a) not in the way of either the cruisers or the sandhoppers (row’s I,J,K or M)
b) securely tied down
AND if you have not paid for winter racing or storage, please remove your boat from the dinghy park as they should have all moved last Sunday.

The closing date for entries to the Winter series and Dinghy Park Storage is this Sunday 7th October. If you intend to leave your boat at the club this winter your time is running out.

Will members please note that if your boat is in rows I J K or M it will need to be moved by this Sunday after racing.

Thank you in advance for you cooperation.

Winter storage rates 2018 19

After eight  years of sail training at our club, as an Instructor and then Sail Training Officer, I feel it’s time for someone new to take on this very rewarding role at the club. I have everything in place to hand over to continue exactly as before , or make any changes as required.   I will be resigning my role at the AGM in November.

Please contact me directly or via the club and I will go through what’s involved and  “Show you the ropes”

Best regards to you all
Nick Cotgrove

Hi All,

Not sure if the club has been made aware but I recieved an email from the RSA forum stating that Boatacs at Chalkwell Park is to close due to retirement.

For those interested the email stated they are clearing all stock at reduced prices.

Sad after so long and now will have to drive to Wallasea Island.. !!!
