Boat Maintenance

The sailing committee have introduced a new boat maintenance reporting system. Below is the QR code for HBSC dingy maintenance group, for those who are willing to help with boat maintenance. It is also the method to report any faults with any of the club boats. There is a designated white board in the main club house for reporting faults - please write the fault on here, take a photo of it and send to the whatsApp group.

The Sailing Committee are also looking at running monthly boat maintenance sessions either on Friday evenings or on Saturdays - if interested, please join the WhatsApp group and express your interest - thank you.

Saturday Sailing donation pot

There is going to be a voluntary donation pot for anyone who use club boats on Saturdays for cadets or training. This is so that we can start to build some funds to help maintain and grow our fleet.

Cadet co-ordinator

A message from Adrian Pinn:'Thank you to all club members who have supported me over the years as the Cadet Coordinator and I look forward to continue to help the club by joining the Training Team. Adrian'

Message from Foreshore Services re: Long Rock

Apparently, following the recent Southern Water works at Long Rock, there is now only 0.5m of water over the top of the newly installed outlet. The Association are contacting Trinity House directly. Until this is investigated, we'd like to make all clubs aware of this and to be careful in the Long Rock area around low water. Water depths have obviously changed following the works.

Curry Night Friday 11th October

Its back! Not only a chance to eat a delicious meal together, it also serves as the presentation for the St George's Cup and wind up of the sailing season! Everyone is welcome, sailors and non sailors, adults and cadets! Keep the date free and sign up list will be circulated after the line dancing evening.
