This Week in Yachting – 26th Dec 2024
This Week in Sailing 1/11/2021
What a huge weekend of racing with both Club racing and the annual Bridge to No Bridge regatta plus a large number of our sailors at away Regattas.
Bright and early Sunday morning we had 20 eager Junior Fleet sailors, who have recently finished the Tackers 3 program at Oxenford and learnt some new skills at Hollywell (mainly our tricky tide). They all had a great time and we can’t wait to see them again next Sunday.

Off the Beach Dinghy Passage – Sunday
With so many away regattas, there were only 6 starters in the Passage racing this Sunday, a steady 14 knots greeted our keen sailors.
A huge thank you to our race management and volunteers for a wonderful weekend, you outdid yourselves!
