Well Done Topper Sailors
Sunday saw our annual Topper Traveller, 32 sailors battled it out through 7 races of shifty, gusty wind. There were some fantastic efforts from all the sailors, and the results can now be seen on our website here and a full report from the sailors will be available soon.
In particular well done to Spinnaker sailors Lewis and Emily for getting 2nd in the 5.3 fleet and 3rd in the 4.2 fleet respectively!
Clubhouse Decorating
Our clubhouse decorating is progressing well, with Rich working in the clubhouse again today and tomorrow! Once the painting is completed our displays and photos will be refreshed, and we look forward to seeing the finished result!
Welcome to New Members and Pre-Season Evening
Wednesday 26th March is our annual Welcome to New Members and Pre-Season Information evening. Come along and see what is planned for 2025, find out what you can get involved in, and find out about how racing will run in 2025!
The evening will start with fish & chips at 7pm, before our Sailing Committee take the floor at 7.30 to update us all! A link will be emailed out on Monday with a link to pre-order your fish & chips.
BUSA Team Racing Championships 2025
We are very excited to be hosting the British Universities Sailing Association Team Racing Championships on 8th, 9th and 10th April! This is a great event, with some fantastic sailors, but to make it happen we need some help! Helping out is a fantastic way to support our club, and to see some awesome sailing up close.
