Saturday, 16 August, 10am – JUNIOR FUN REGATTA 

Sailors who completed a sailing course or private lessons with us this season and their parents are invited to come and have lots of fun. We’ll have a couple of fun sailing races, a rowing race, parents’ race and a fancy dress competition! Mums and Dads – we need your participation so be ready to have fun and possibly get wet!  It’s also an opportunity to collect any lost property! BBQ burgers / sausages available at the club house after the regatta, and it’s a great time to ask more questions about joining in club activities. To help us plan, please book your places here: Junior Fun Regatta
