Hi All, I have put together a new Sandhopper T Shirt for this year. https://bit.ly/3N31ky0 if you want to amend it to have your boat name on it, just add to your basket, go into edit and you can change what ever you like. (Remember to delete the original purchase from your basket otherwise you will end up with two!) You can also change the T shirt basis from Mens to Womens or the Style or make a Jumper… Its up to you.. Its easier or a tablet or pc/mac rather than a phone as the text is a little small!

Due to the course, there will be no Club Picos available to borrow this weekend.

This Sunday 8th May

Briefing at 15.45 (changed and rigged, meet on the sea wall). Leaving the beach at 16.00.
