SUNDAY RACE REPORTS

Having braved the elements last week, our intrepid sailors were faced with a new challenge on Sunday, to find a breath of wind. As eight dinghies clung to the start line, one minute into the race, a member of the public asked when the race was going to start? Well done to those who managed to complete the one lap race. Congratulations to young Sam Underwood for a very creditable third place. Thanks to the race officer David Pleister, his able assistant Claire, and the patrol crews for staying awake throughout.

DINGHY PARK

Keith Jones has been working hard to improve the dinghy park so it is more convenient and safer for everybody. Keith is trying hard to accommodate the wishes of every park user, not always an easy task. Many thanks to Keith and to John Mammatt who spent last Saturday strengthening some of the racking.

ForthCOMING

EVENTS

On August 28, there is the RNLI Brew for the crew at the clubhouse between 2-4 pm. Please support. The welcome to all will continue for the rest of the afternoon and the evening. More news of what is planned to follow. On September 17, the annual Bart’s Bash event that takes place on five continents returns to Saundersfoot. The object is to get as many boats of all descriptions on the water as we can. To add to the spectacle, fancy dress is encouraged.

Saundersfoot Sailing Club has had special mentions on the Bart’s Bash website because of its significant support for this charity fundraising event. Let’s continue the tradition.

For these and other events, we rely on your support and in particular the volunteers willing to give up their time. The more support we have, the more we can offer so please say yes when we hear from us.

Finally, good luck to Jo Musson for the forthcoming 4000 Championships in Torbay.
