I would just like to say a big thank you to Richard and Tracey Metcalf for doing a great job on the rescue on Saturday, there I was drifting fast into the land of the dinosaurs well past the coast guard station no beach for landing big waves lots of wind and the mast broken in two places, all this in a boat that weighs 27kg has the foils fixed in from the underside will not stay up right on its own and is very delicate.
Also a thank you to all the people that helped on the beach when we got back everybody was first class and this is what makes this sailing club a great place it was nice to see so many people walk out and help get the Moth onto the beach with out any damage.
Thank you !

It’s with regret to announce the passing away of Reg White. Thursday morning he played a round of golf, Thursday afternoon/evening he raced his brightlingsea One Design, just as he was steeping ashore he had a heart attack. He started his catamaran career with the Little America’s Cup and the ‘Lady Helmsman’ C-Class catamaran, the first boat with a wing sail to win a major trophy. Reg went on to become an Olympic Gold medalist in the Tornado (1976 Montreal) with crew John Osborn and also won world championships in 1976 and 1979. His East coast company have built some other famous cats like the Hurricane59, Shark, Dart 16, Dart Hawk F18, Spitfire and their last rocket, the Shockwave F18. Condolences to all the White family
