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

We have two sessions of Race Training for 11+ year old Cadets with basic to more advanced sailing skills this week.
The weather is perfect for Sunday’s session, 9mph wind with some sun and not too early!
The training will include Planning your course and tactics, spotting windshifts, use of tailtails, laylines, starts etc. We will finish with two races. A full programme can be downloaded later in the week.
