All Wednesday series racers we have to think hard on some decisions regarding englands next match in the semi finals …. It starts at 2000 hrs so as far as we are concerned we have 3 options… 1) we do nothing miss the start of the game but get to see most on the club ship. 2) We move the start time of the race to 1830 hrs and finish at 1930 hrs and get to see the whole match 3) We move the whole race to start at 1900 hrs on Tuesday, Please have a think and let me

The postponed all marks race was competed today.
A course was laid that we hoped stretched the legs of our aquatic greyhounds!
11 boats turned out and were treated to a strong and sometimes gusty westerly. But it delivered some great and speedy sailing.
Well done to Juno for taking the win in Division 1 and to Fingal for taking the laurels in Division 2.
Thanks Mary for the fortifying coffees from the Rum shack.
And thanks to Nathan for helping lay the course and to Mat Hill for help in the Rib collecting them.
Till the next one!

Watching the bay forecast today and following a consultation amongst the sailing committee we have made the decision to postpone the race planned for Saturday 4th July to Sunday 5th July .
We hope that this early notice allows time for competitors to rearrange crews etc..
Hopefully see you all Sunday (1100 briefing for 1200 start) when it looks a little better.
Thank you
