This RYA sponsored one day coaching event is a great opportunity aimed at youth sailors moving from Junior classes such as Toppers, Teras and Oppies into Lasers. It is aimed at those who are keen racers but new to the laser class. It is open to all sailors in NE England .   

With just a week to go, are you ready for the sailing season? What will your priorities be? Getting the boat ready and repairing those control lines that were wearing through last season? Shedding a few more pounds, or buying a larger dry suit that must have shrunk due to lack of use through the close season?

No more excuses, time is almost up. The first race starts on Sunday 29 March at 1130 BST (Yes clocks go forward one hour that morning!)

This casting company is in Cumbria 3-12 March looking for 9-16 year olds for Swallows and Amazons.

Interested? Get in touch with them soon!

Mike Cowan and Phil Davenport plan to be at the Club on Saturday 14th March from 10am to start cleaning up the grounds, putting boats in place and buoys back on the water.

Help is required for the Club House preparation for the start of the season start on the weekend of Sat/Sun 14/15 March between 11am and 4pm

 AJ assures us that there is nothing excessive with tasks ranging from 

• Shower  wall/floor deep cleaning 
• Window cleaning
• Wooden vanity door locks replacement
• Roof vent fixing
• Moving topper accessories back into the training container

etc.

We hope you’ll be able to assist on at least one of the days. 

Thanks

Perhaps the title says it all!

Not all those that started the walk through Dodd Wood made it to the top, here’s those that did!

My Scorpion’s fore deck was damaged when a visiting worker dropped something through it. The insurance would only give me the boat’s market value, which was less than the repair cost.

The boat is in reasonable condition and very enjoyable to sail.
I hope someone (apprentice at a boat yard?) would like to repair/restore this boat.

If so, please come and take it away, on its trailer – with mast, boom, rudder, sails (main, jib & spinnaker).
