All club members are invited to join the social activities and continued use of the bar throughout the weekend. Friday and Saturday you may find a lot of Catamaran discussions.

Sunday the Runaways Band will be performing (60’s Soul, Disco & Classic Rock covers with a powerful female vocalist) mainly after the Sprint Dinner is finished around 8:30. Please come and join us.

Please be aware that due to this weekends Sprint 15 Nationals (60 boats entries) the normal club car parking will move to the next council green field.

One minute start from start box, 1 lap
Drill before race: sail around the start box. On the whistle, go inside of the box and stop.
Next whistle: get going round and round again
After first race: come to the coach boat and stop, hold on to each other.
After second race: game – stay inside of the start box

Andras Gal

The sandhopper fleet has been lost, someone must know where they have gone?

A fantastic day this Sunday with perfect sailing conditions and only four arrived, Nore race last weekend and only three!

They must be somewhere, perhaps they have all gone to the dark side and joined the sprint fleet?

Please help and find the lost souls of a once fantastic race fleet that have been lost.

If you cannot find them, please feel free to take charge of their empty boats and go sailing. They will never know.

Thank you
