Late Series Morning 7 & 8 - Sunday 29th September 2024
Some hardy sailors joined us for this morning's sailing. Whilst drinking coffee and looking out the window, we wondered how many might turn up on a blustery morning. With one open sailor and some scow sailors appearing agreed to run a river race with the scow fleet. Simon was a great sport and persuaded to join the fleet, and Matt T was stood down from support duties

Junior Sailing Report - Saturday 14th September
The late summer sun was very much welcomed by 17 of the Juniors last Saturday! Despite barely any breeze for the 9 club dinghies out, the ebb tide and a paddle or two just about secured a slow drift away from the slipway and towards the spit. Some held onto just enough of the easterly puffs to sail all the way, whilst some others benefited briefly from their tow lines to get moving again!
