Can you find your way to Chalkwell and then back around the right race marks? Can you be the fastest? race starts 13:00 on this Sunny Sunday. Standard General Handicap, Mass start.

A bright but cold sailing day

For safety reasons,  please make sure you complete any other boat movements before 2.00 pm Sunday 24th March and stay clear of the boat park and slip from then until the lift-in is complete.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Cruising Section Secretary (for Rear Commodore, Cruising)

(Note: Start time moved forwards – initially published as 2:30 pm)

The Cruising Section is hosting a Quiz in the bar this Tuesday 12th March, and ALL MEMBERS are welcome.

It would be great if some of the other sailing sections got together a team – usually 4 – 6; we’d love to see more of you Sandhoppers, Fevas, Picos, Cats, Finns, Lasets, Sprints etc.

But you don’t need a team – just come by yourself and we’ll find you (and you’ll find us) convivial company!

There is no need to book; entry is £2 head which pays for the prizes.  (No food provided so eat first.)

Our quizzes are always challenging, interesting and fun and an enjoyable, healthily competitive evening is had by all.

(Sorry for the short notice…  see Cruising Sailing Dates  for forthcoming events. )

cheers

Bill (for Derek, Rear-Commodore Cruising)
