A Few Words from the Commodore...

It is well and truly the holiday season now, with various regatta weeks taking place up and down the country, and national championships keeping some of our members busy too. Keeping sailors afloat takes a team effort – whether it’s feeding them or mending things there always seems to be something to do. This morning I came back to the motorhome to find it swathed in yellow spinnaker cloth, with Jennie busy repairing ‘a small rip’ which had grown into a ‘significantly larger rip’. Our ‘3 men in a boat’ have been busy testing those repairs this afternoon in glorious sunshine at Bassenthwaite – here’s hoping the repairs have held out!

Happy Sailing
