The WOSC Regatta is an open event which will take place over two days, from Saturday 7 June to Sunday 8 June.
This is a celebration to which all club members are warmly invited. Please come and join us for racing, social sailing, swimming or simply socialising. As this is a social event, it is a great opportunity if you are new to racing.
There are three General Handicap races scheduled on each day at 12:00, 14:00 and 15:30; each race will last around an hour. There are separate prizes for each day of racing (2 to count out of 3). In order to win the Regatta Cup, you will need to sail on both days (5 to count out of 6). Club boats are available without charge to members who take part in racing.
We have organised professionally cooked pizzas on Saturday evening, to be booked in advance (see below for details). Also on Saturday evening, we will hold the prize-giving ceremony at 19:00 for first, second and third place in each of the race series completed in 2024; there are other prizes, for example for most improved sailors. Why not come and cheer as prizes are handed out? The bar will be open, camping is available on Saturday evening and we plan to party on Saturday evening.
In order for us to have enough food for everyone, we will ask you to pre-order your pizzas directly from the www.loveandpizza.co.uk website via their "Love&Pizza Mobile" menu. The website will only allow you to preorder pizzas from 3 June onwards. You will find a list of pizzas in a special "WOSC 7TH JUNE 2025" section at the bottom of the mobile menu; you should indicate any special dietary requirements (e.g. vegan) in the "Comments" box when you place your pre-order; please select to "pickup" your pizzas on 7 June. We expect the pizzas to be ready from around 18:30 on Saturday evening. The pizzas are to be paid for on the night, with the sailing club contributing £2 towards the cost of the first 60 pizzas to be ordered.
Please note that there is no galley at lunch time on Saturday, so please remember to bring your own lunch. There will be galley as usual on Sunday, when the first race of the day finishes at around 13:00.
We will light the barbecue on Sunday evening, for those who want to cook their own food and enjoy a drink from the bar whilst the prizes for the regatta are handed out. The regatta is a family occasion and visitors are welcome; please sign visitors in as usual. We are hoping to see many of you at the club.
