Topper and Comet Open

Last Saturday we welcomed Topper and Comet sailors to the club for their annual open event. The weather was very blustery and not for the faint hearted! Everyone enjoyed the day and it was a pleasure to see all the youngsters out on the water as well as the more seasoned comet sailors. Some pictures of the prize giving kindly sent by Mike Jones.

Gilmer Trophy

Firstly a reminder that there is no Club sailing this Sunday (19th April) as we are hosting the Gilmer Trophy which is a team event between Bristol Avon Sailing Club (BASC) and Shearwater SC. There are 10 boats from each club involved. It promises to be good spectator sport so if you’d like to come along and support us please do.

Tuesday Evening Sailing
Now the evenings are getting lighter it will soon be time for the popular Tuesday evening sailing. It kicks off with race 1 of the Putty Trophy on the 28th April. An evening meal/drink at the pub often follows, so it is a good social time too.
