It was agreed that subscriptions for current members would renew at 2020 rates, with a small increase for new members after 1st April.

To encourage junior racing, the sailing instructions will be amended such that, when all boats are in a single race, juniors/cadets may be shortened, and get results, without shortening the whole race.

A password protected members’ website will be introduced for member specific information.

A vote of thanks was given to Naomi for all her efforts during what has proved to be an exceptionally challenging season.

Saturday Shutdown

Perhaps jumping the gun with that headline, but that announcement may come later…

With the high winds, no competitors, OD, or rescue, the Starter had an early finish, and it brings the Autumn Saturday series, and Saturday sailing in general, to an end. Dave/Lynn pick up the trophies for both the fleet, and personal, handicap series, with Scumper 2nd.

Autumn Saturday final results

Sunday turned out to be just as blustery, so with no takers, it was a non-racing weekend. A few sailors appeared to relocate their boats to higher ground/remove them from site. Will your boat be safe, especially with the imminent lockdown restricting travel?
