Thank you to all the members who have carried out duties during the Thursday Series so far. I have made a list of those who have (on the noticeboard) and note there are several names who need to do some duties.

This coming Thursday (10th August) there are no volunteers so far on Dutyman.

Please put your name down soonest.

The last race in the 21 Race Series will be on the 24th and we will again be running a
PRIZE GIVING AND PIZZA NIGHT after racing. Free to competitors, donation from supporters.
Please bring your own alcohol and hot and cold drinks will be available from the Galley

Dorset Triangle 2023 SBSC

Dorset Triangle

Next Sunday is the first leg of the 2023 Dorset Triangle at home. Boats from Castle Cove and Lyme Regis are invited to take part against us in a 3 race series. Also part of the event is the Banbury Chaser which is between Lyme and us.
Come along and help us try to win both, everyone is welcome and we’d love to see you.

We are looking forward to seeing the sailors from the opposition clubs too

Lyme Regis Sailing Club
Castle Cove Sailing Club

To get the Club ready for the year ahead there are a number of jobs including cutting back the undergrowth and general tidying up that need doing.
Please spare what time you have on Saturday to come to the Club and bring any suitable gardening tools, protective clothing and gloves etc.
The Club will be providing bacon butties and hot drinks to keep you going and possible cake as well.

For those of you going to the Dinghy Show, there is a second Working Party Day in a month’s time on the 25th March so you will not miss out

The safety /galley duty roster is looking rather empty. Please make sure you go to the Dutyman app to volunteer for the correct number of duties for your membership for this year. You can find more details and the link to Dutyman on this link – https://ift.tt/9CSPogq

If you don’t choose your dates you will soon be allocated them.

Frosty has corrected our initial thoughts on the starting time, it is 6pm rather than 7pm. Sorry for the error on our part and we still hope you enjoy and benefit from this course

Couch to Competent Sailor

A series of four evenings aimed at novices or folks whose knowledge/skills are rusty and would appreciate a refresher, covering everything you need to know to get out on the water. The goal is to bring you to a standard where you are confident enough to enjoy joining in fun racing on a Thursday evening and in doing so remove barriers to you getting on the water. Some material will be relevant to recreational sailing and cruising, so even if racing is not your thing, come along and learn how to sail better and chat to folks about your goals. Details of the content of each evening are being finalised and will be published, see below.

We are very fortunate to have excellent race coaches in our membership and Andrew Frost and Chris Jones have volunteered to deliver the indoor coaching sessions, supported by others. There will be open discussion sessions and opportunities to ask your questions or chat with more experienced members.

30th March.18.30 to 20.30 Weather and daylight permitting the final evening will be a practical session with a boat on shore looking at rigging a boat, sail setting and trim
