Social Sailing on Saturday (SSOS) 3rd May - Rookie Racing and Club BBQ

Published 13:36 on 2 May 2025

This Saturday 3rd May is the first with an organised activity i.e. Rookie Racing (Summer Series) and BBQ!

As a reminder - Rookie Racing is intended for those Club Members new to sailing, or new to racing, who want to gain experience of how club racing is run in an easy, supportive, and friendly environment.

The format will be similar to our normal weekend racing and may be run from the Club's new Committee Vessel, Race Box, or this Saturday, by a GATE START. There are NO handicaps and NO official prizes, so this is all about enjoying time on the water gaining more experience.

There will be a 'Rookie Racing Rules' reminder session starting at 13:00 in the Club Room and a 'Rookie Race Briefing' (including what a Gate Start actually is!) at 14:00. The first race start will be about 15:30, subject to everyone participating being on the water ready. The first High Water is just after 15:47 and stays sailable into early-evening.

The '2025 Fitting Out Supper' at 18:00 will be 'Bring Your Own Food' and the club BBQ will be going from 18:00 until 19:00 for you to cook whatever you bring.
