WOSC 8 Hour Race Race start time, on the water at 11:00hrs
PLEASE JOIN US FOR FUN FUN FUN!
Please turn up for 10:00hrs if you wish to join a team and don't have one - (or join conversations in club Whatsapp groups like the crewing one or the women's one).
We very much welcome new sailors to join in the fun, even if you only wish to crew, but you'd be welcome to helm of course. Rule number one is to have fun. (second to the other rule number one, which is to not crash.)
This is a fun, family Event - 25th August 2024 - this aims to be a social event, so ideal if you're new and wish to meet some other sailors and families.
Juniors are allowed to sail too, although they normally team up against the adults so watch out for those cheeky little things, they overtake when you least expect. There's also prizes for the winning junior team so two chances to win.
There will be a hog roast provided and vegetarian options, and the bar is open so bring your spending money. There is also the BBQ and galley there for your use if you wish to bring your own grub.
Visiting teams are welcome, so do invite sailors from outside the club.
There is (ahem loud) live music after the race, this band was loved last year and promises to be excellent again this year.
Camping is available on Saturday and Sunday night.
