If you are the first to arrive at the gate, please re-attach the chain and padlock to the gate AND scramble the numbers. 

This is for 2 reasons:

1. The padlock will still be there at the end of the day
2.  People walking past won't learn our combination numbers

The 2018 Carry on Sailing Course will run over 4 Tuesday evenings-

June 11th. 18th, 25th, & 9th July. It will commence at 6.30 pm. and finish around dusk.

It is suitable for Adults who hold Level 2 or have similar relevant experience. Participants should be able to rig their own boat, and sail a triangular course as helm or crew.

Instruction will be given in a variety of boats, and involve a number of techniques to improve your sailing. 

There are no certificates, but we do squeeze in a lot of Carry-on jokes along the way.

Applications can be made to Fraser Hayden at:  fraserhayden@hotmail.com or there are forms on the Training board in the front hall, and the fee is £40 to include hire boats.

The more that join the lighter the work load is on the existing members.

We meet on an add hoc basis to sort out who is going to do what.  Most items can be carried out, by an individual at their own convenience.  Some tasks require small groups.  Nearly everything is a few hours attendance at the club once in a while.  You can decide if you want to do the task and to a large extent what task you want to do.  So if you have a few hours to spare every now and then, please forward your interest to john_Brenda@pantings.plus.com

Solo: Thursday Night Sailing

We commence the Thursday night sailing on Thursday 26th April.  Racing starts at 1830 and goes on until the light fades.  We often retire to the Saddlers pub afterwards for a few drinks, food, discussions of the racing, to talk nonsense and for a banquet of fish and chips.  Much like Winter Saturdays, the format of the racing is short courses and plenty of starts.  If you haven't been before, please join us, it is lots of fun and very instructive!
