After some excellent sailing in the late summer (all Club lasers were in use one Sunday!), it has been disappointing not to be able to get on the water recently. The river has been flowing fast now for a couple of weeks and has been red boarded on every reach almost continuously. Recent rains make the outlook for the rest of the sailing season rather poor, but nevertheless we will continue to sail whenever conditions allow. Series racing finishes on 3 November, but the Club will continue to be open every Sunday thereafter throughout the winter. The safety boat will be available from 12.00 noon for ad hoc sailing etc. with the bar open and tea & cakes at 15:00 .
