I have also put a guide here: Main-Race-Key-Points 2023

Good Luck!

Please could we have Cadet and Parent volunteers to get the Cadet boats ready for the season. Even if you don’t sail Picos or Optimists, you probably did in the past and we really need your help.

It usually takes 60 minutes!

See you there! Nick

If you have paid for you 2023 storage and plan to keep your dinghies on double or triple stacker road trailers, then you need to inform me as soon as possible which boats these are.

Smaller dinghy storage spaces such as those for Teras, Picos and Lasers don’t really have the width to accommodate larger road trailers.

With this in mind, Mark and I have put together a provisional plan to move the storage of smaller boats on larger road trailers from their usual rows at the North of the Dinghy Park to wider spaces.

This can only happen if numbers are low and provided at the start of the season. Trailers that we are not aware of or introduced later in the season may not be allocated spaces depending upon the capacity of the Dinghy Park at the time.

That you in advance for providing us with your details as soon as you can. I need to publish the plan before next Sunday when the majority of boats will be expected to return following the delayed cruiser lift in on Saturday.

If you plan to return your dinghy before then, plan leave it on the west of the Dinghy Park and then move once the cruisers are launched.

Thank you

Please do not leave your car in Barrowsands next to the Club House on Friday Night or park there early on Saturday morning as we will be carrying the support boats down the road between 07:00 – 08:00 on Saturday morning.

It’s that time of year and the Support boats , Sandhoppers and Cruisers and being launched next weekend (25th and 26th March) We would ask if you can move your own dingy into a row during this week as to ease the burden of moving them to allow us to get to the Sandhoppers and Cruisers it would be appreciated. We also ask that you avoid being in the dinghy park from 07:00 to midday on both Saturday and Sunday next weekend as we will have heavy machinery operating and the small team of people helping with the lift should be the only people in the dingy park at this time. Thank you and I hope you all have a fabulous season.
