The first day of September started somewhat drizzly, especially for those on the training course being run by Nigel Lewis. Not sure what has happened this week, but many seem to have opted for go faster haircuts (Ginge, Jonathan, Shunty, William) – when you see the results it’s clear they don’t work!… Read full article “September Sailing”
Even More Congratulations
Congratulations to Sam Hall who won the Junior Plate at South Windermere regatta last week. Yet another piece of silverware for mum to polish!
Helipad Re-opens after Bank Holiday in Yawn City!?
Due to a busy weekend camping the the mass of helicopters observing our activities over the lake were obliged to use nearby Armathwaite Hall – apologies for the inconvenience! This morning the long weekend seemed to be taking its toll with many people yawning their way to the changing rooms.… Read full article “Helipad Re-opens after Bank Holiday in Yawn City!?”
Naked Cleaner!
At last, the sunny weather has found its way through the clouds, and brought along with it some wind to keep the boats moving most of the time (at least). At times, there were some gusts that allowed the boats to plane, but with no capsizes the rescue crews were able to concentrate more on the sunbathing rather rescuing!… Read full article “Naked Cleaner!”

If you enjoyed the week and are planning ahead for next year then put 2 – 10 August in your diary (you won’t be the first)

Ladies and Crews Race
As Andy Smith is neither a lady, nor a crew, I assume dad Alan won the race with Andy crewing – well done – use Club update for full results. So much for making assumptions – it was Emma that won – Well done!
Congratulations!
Sam Hall has today won the Mount Haes Trophy at this year’s NSSA Regatta being held in Plymouth
[Where’s the Summer Gone]Here Comes Summer?
A gentle breeze came and went, came back again and disappeared totally over the course of the afternoon. The rain clouds that came in failed to deliver any wind, and fortunately not too much rain either!
Although there was a light breeze for the first beat, it almost totally disappeared for the two downwind legs, and boats were hunting out whatever zephyrs they could.… Read full article “[Where’s the Summer Gone]Here Comes Summer?”
