As we approach the start of the 2024/25 Sailing Season, there’s plenty to look forward to. Whether you’ve been with us for years or you’re new to the club, this season brings its own set of opportunities to get involved and enjoy time on the water. With our 100th sailing season under the Royal Warrant, we’re entering a significant chapter in our club’s history, and we encourage everyone to make the most of it.
Entries & Requirements
Before we dive into the action, make sure you’ve got all your entries in and have fulfilled the entry requirements as per the Notice of Race. A key part of this is ensuring your Safety Audits are up to date—don’t leave it to the last minute! These must be completed before the start of the season, so get ahead and make sure everything is in order. It’s essential to get everything sorted before the first race to ensure a smooth start. You can check out the NOR below:
Season Opening Day – October 5th

This is not just the first Club Race Day for both Bravo and Charlie courses, but a major milestone as we celebrate our 100th sailing season under the Royal Warrant. We’ve got a fantastic day planned, with plenty of sailing action followed by live music after the races. It’s the perfect opportunity to get involved, so come down and join the festivities!
