Saturday: Open Sailing 10am start. These are open sailing sessions for any ability. Where possible, an instructor or experienced sailor will be available to support you on the water. You do not need to sign up and it's a case of 'turn up, sails up'.

Ian Moore has taken on the role of Saturday Open Sailing Co-ordinator, and he is looking for instructors and experienced sailors to assist and support the Saturday Sailing sessions. You can sign up for these on SCM.

Sunday: 10am start for Spring Series 7 and 8 Race officer and Assistant needed to run the race, please sign up on SCM if you can help. Thank you.

If you don't fancy sailing, come on down, have a cup of tea and piece of cake and enjoy the spring sunshine on the decking!

Please remember to mark and label your spars and sails. Boat insurance is important too, don't forget to renew.

Dinner Dance returns for 2023!

Due to popularity and high levels of fun at last years' dinner dance, we're going to do it again this year on 25^th November at the Marine Hotel! We would really like to keep the cost the same as last year, so to do this we need as many people as possible to join in.

The format will be the same as last year: 3 course sit down meal, live music and PLENTY of dancing.
