Sailing and Social Programme March -
There is a change in format this year. The 11:30 am race will generally be a Spring or Autumn Series race and will start on time; races will not be delayed because competitors are not ready; race officers please note.
The 2:00pm event will be Training, a Fun Race, or Cruising (TFC) with emphasis on giving less experienced members a better sailing experience.
The 3:30pm race will generally be a Spring/Autumn, a Summer or 2 Sprint Series races.
The Wednesday afternoon Series will start on 13 May and end on 9 September; start time will be 4pm.
The Cundy Trophy long distance race will take place, on a day when the weather is suitable, concurrent with the scheduled Sunday afternoon race.
There will be six special youth training events on the following Saturday afternoons: 9 May, 23 May, 30 May, 6June, 13 June, 27 June, starting at 1pm and finish at 5pm. Members needing help with rigging etc or who wish to crew need to arrive at least 45 minutes before the start of an event.
The OOD is responsible for organising the provision of cakes and milk for the afternoon tea at 3 p.m.
The Aquarius Open Days are 16th and 17th May; members are asked to bring friends and neighbours who might be tempted to sail. Make this the day you get afloat.
On the Late Spring Holiday Monday 28 May, and the Late Summer Holiday Monday 28 August we visit the Bewl Valley SC; this year they are having family sailing days and not open racing days.
