Summers over….officially

Sunday was the end of the Summer Racing Series and  Thursday was the last of this year’s Evening sailing series.  Thanks to everyone who took their turn to Race Officer and carry out OOD duties.

Due to our reduced membership we no longer have sufficient members to be OODs on Saturdays until next May (your Committee will decide whether we have enough members  to cover April when we know how many have renewed).  
Members may still sail on a Saturday but you will have to bring your own safety boat crew so you could join up with friends for the day.
Sundays will still be open for casual sailing and racing.  For those you who still haven’t done your required number of duties, please see the Dutyman program on the website and volunteer.  I note several members who the Committee allocated duties have not confirmed their duty which they should do as soon as possible.  You will be receiving automatic reminders by email.

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

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
