Hi All, It was fantastic to observe a very good fleet of Dinghies for a beautiful day on the water, where the sunscreen was definitely required. The wind however was up and down in wind strength and a little frustrating for the sailors. It slowly filled in overtime to become a steady breeze when we were finishing for the day! In the end it was pleasing to see the sailors enjoying themselves. Three races were completed with Kieran (Starlings), Cohen (Firebugs) and Astin (Opti) winning on the day, well done! It was great to see Denis & Nixon (Mistral) and Tamas & Ben (RS Feva) on the water, let’s hope we can get a few more Open Class Dinghies out as the summer progresses!

I have increased the time window for arriving at the club to prepare for racing to 2 hrs, so please refer to the updated sailing program for changes. Parents please ensure there is all hands on the ramp to help launch the boats as this will help to make things run a little smoother at the start. Next Dingy Events Two Learn to Sail events to be held on the Friday 8th & 15th November, and racing on Sunday 17th November @ 8.30am for a 10.30am race start.  ********************************** CALL TO ARMS: GOLDEN RIVET 1 Against CCYC (Postponed race) Sunday 8rd December 2019; 1300 start. Could I request the Keeler Skippers please commit to racing the Golden Rivet Series; it’s time to take back the silverware after losing it last year. We need a minimum Team of 5 to compete, but the Sailing Committee would really like to see a big turn out to what is always a great day of racing against our neighbouring club, plus a good social event. We have combined the Mark Foy Golden Rivet series races and Surprise races so the results will also count towards the Surprise series.
