Club Open Weekend 11th/12th May


This weekend is very important to the club, it is our main chance to show the club off to prospective new members.

With this in mind I would like to invite ALL members with sailable dinghies to get them on the water, not only to show the public what we have, but also to encourage existing members to try other classes, we have a fair selection of classes and it would be nice to see them all on the water, so let's get Aquarius on the water!

We need everybody else in the club to give it a real buzz and to talk to prospective members.

We warmly welcome new members Alan and Gail Mackintosh. We wish them fair winds and a happy future with Aquarius.

Sailing Programme Notes


The Training/Fun/Cruising (TFC) event at 2:00 has been very successful; much easier to give new members and trainees a better sailing experience. Duty Officers should note it is an event and need not be a race; members should be encouraged to try different boats, helm and crew.

The same format will continue this year as follows:-

11:30am Series race

14.00pm Training/Fun/Cruising

15.30pm Series race

Please ensure that if you intend to race that you allow enough time to arrive, rig and be near the start line by the start time.

For those wishing to sail after racing, safety boat cover will be maintained till 5.30p.m.
