Record numbers take to the water for Fleet Trophy Day
A massive 51 boats took part in our Fleet Trophy Day on 1 July.

Commodore's Galore!
We were over-run with Commodores at the club today - our current Commodore Bernard Clark welcoming John Wells, David Nutt, Tony Cawood, Phil Cawood, Peter Staples, Vic Hawkins, Malcolm Clements, Dennis Altoft and Ian Smith to the club for the Summer Lunch and our Wednesday afternoon sailing.
