Welcome to New Members and Pre-Season Social
On Wednesday 3rd April we have our annual Welcome to New Members and Pre-Season Social, a chance for all members to meet each other, find out what is planned for 2024, and get some top tips to help make the most of their membership. We will also have several workshops running around racing to allow our members to learn more.

On Monday an email will be sent with the link to pre-order your fish and chips!
RYA National Team Racing Championships 2024
This weekend we hosted our second national level championship event in 9 days! 144 competitors battled it out for the Prince Philip Trophy with Exeter Blue coming out on top, beating the West Kirby Hawks (multiple times winners) in a closely fought best of 3 final!
A huge thank you to all the volunteers who supported this event.
Meet Our New Lead Instructor
Yesterday our new Lead Instructor Caitlyn started work with us. Caitlyn is an experienced Senior Dinghy and Powerboat Instructor who has previously been the Chief Instructor at Aylesbury Sailing Club in Buckinghamshire. Caitlyn has joined our team on an 18-month contract to support our club's instructor led activities including Spinnaker Youth Training, Let's Go Sailing, our RYA training courses and our work with local schools.
