Ideally, we would like them all done and ready to go before January. If you can help with cleaning, painting, a little woodwork and can spare some time please complete the online form.
All materials etc. will be supplied we just need the club members to volunteer to keep our floating assets looking their best.

Thank you to Howard Warrington, Duncan Clarke, Tolga Kulahcigil and Gary Levy who spent all day yesterday cleaning and then antifouling SS2 and SS3. They also cleaned and prepared Polly and the Committee Boat ready for winter.  A great job well done, thank you for your time from all of us that rely on these boats every weekend.

Don’t forget the final fling is this Saturday. Race start is 10:00. The weather forecast is W, 10 – 16kts, 12 Degrees, No rain! Looks like it could be a good day for it. If you would like to sail, please let me know as I need crew/helm and maybe others will go out if there is availability of crew
