The Sailing Committee met recently
and have planned the sailing calendar for 2009. Yes !, even if
there are delays in the building program, we still intend to sail.
Utilisation of both the Public Boat Park & Slip, plus the use of our own slip and Beach Road ( Tidy up completed). Race Officers will manage the racing from the Promenade, the start & finish line can still be easily set in to accommodate this. As various aspects of the work proceed, it is possible that we will be able to use the south side of the Clubhouse area, where the Topper rack was moved to and even the boat shed. Therefore this would enable us to make the use of the safety boat as per our normal procedures. The Committee will make that decision in the Spring and look to use Beach Road for storage too as we did receive a grant to purchase a new Safety boat. Dates for your "Sailing " Diary Sailing/Social Events ARCHIVE NEWS Lighthouse Walk : Monday 15 June. The walk will begin at the Club - 7.00 pm. Around the Lighthouse and back via McCrae's Brae.
