Solo & Byte Open
Saturday saw our annual combined Solo & Byte Open Meeting. 14 Solos and 3 Bytes took part, including 6 visitors who joined a number of our regular faces. 4 races per class were run in glorious sunshine, with not even a fickle easterly wind stopping the enjoyment of the racers. It was a double home victory for Spinnaker Sailing Club as Ian Matthews took the overall win in the Solos, and Duncan Glen claimed 1st place amongst the Bytes with a clean sweep of 4 race wins!
A big thank you to everyone who made the day possible!
Spinnaker Youth Training
This Sunday is the final session of Block 1! It's been fantastic to see so many young sailors afloat over the last five weeks, with all of them developing not just in their sailing skills but also their confidence and independence.
After SYT training finishes this Sunday we're encouraging all the sailors to take part in the first race, before we have a BBQ afterwards! Even if your junior sailor isn't taking part in the SYT coaching it would be great to see them on the water for race 1 and for them to join us for the BBQ after! The club is providing the charcoal for the BBQ, please bring your own food to cook yourself!
You can book Block 2 here now.
Car Parking
As we move further into the summer the club is getting busier at all times of the day. Can we please remind all members that under no circumstance should a vehicle be parked so it prevents any boat or trailer moving around the site, or the use of any slipway. This ensures all our members and users can make the full use of the site, and leaves routes clear for any emergency vehicles should they be required.
May Half Term Stage 1 & 2 Course
We have one space left on our May Half Term RYA Stage 1 & 2 Course. We can be flexible about this space is taken, either for the Monday/Tuesday only to gain Stage 1, Thursday/Friday only to work towards Stage 2, or for the full 5 days!
You can see more details and book here.
