Roll Up . . .Roll Up . . .it’s the Commodore’s Regatta this Sunday with yet another sunny day and southerly breeze forecast. Racing will start at 10am sharp, with 3 races back to back before returning to shore for lunch and celebrations in the club.

Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow afternoon for 3 races back to back, followed by tea and cake in the Clubroom. A great way to round off half term!
Launching may be a bit tricky, so please arrive early and be prepared to help lift the dinghies of other competitors off the end of the slipway. Please also be aware of other slipway users and follow any instructions given by the SCSC slipway marshal.
Have a great weekend!

Due to tidal considerations races will be held back to back with the start time of the Beagle Open Handicap Race commencing as soon as possible after the finish of the Vega Pursuit Race and the Liberation Race likewise commencing as soon as possible after the finish of the Beagle Open Handicap Race.  An amendment to the Sailing Instructions detailing this change has been posted under General Sailing Information on the club website.

Lunch will be served after racing has finished for the day.

The Liberation Day regatta takes place on Thursday, 9th May.  The Vega pursuit race starts at 10:00, so please arrive at 9am.  And then the sailors will come ashore for lunch. The House committee will be serving a lunch of Chicken kebabs, Vegetarian quiche, New Potatoes and House Salads, along with Apple tart and Ice cream. £5 for Adults, £3 for Juniors. Please sign up in advance at Liberation Regatta  to help our catering, but of course all welcome on the day! All donations of cakes and salads as always gratefully received. After lunch, two more open handicap races will be held back to back.  First the Beagle, then the Liberation race. We only run two pursuit races during the year and they are great fun, it may seem complicated at first but once you have started it is just great fun, please ask us at the club to explain the start sequence if you are unsure.

We will be exhibiting at the Barclays Boat Show in St Helier over the bank holiday 4th – 6th May.  Come down to say hello and see our display which celebrates the sailing, racing and training that goes on at our club. You will also be able to view our plans to develop the clubhouse, complete with model.

We’re looking forward to some excellent sailing on Monday, with sunshine and a light SE for the Easer Regatta.

There will be three races for the main classes starting at 10am from the Committee boat under the leadership of the event Race Officer Bruno Gomes.

Ben Rogers will also be running a separate set of coached races for the Oppie training fleet.

The House Committee will be serving a full lunch at £5 per adult and £3 for the juniors.
