Practice Sailing and Rowing - Saturday 7 September

Published 01:00 on 21 Aug 2024

The final scheduled Saturday Practice Sailing session of 2024 will take place on Saturday 7 September subject to demand and helpers and suitable weather conditions. The session will run from 11:00 until 12:30 on the water

Practice Sailing

Although aimed primarily at Cadets and Novices, these sessions provide an opportunity for anyone that fancies going for a gentle sail with patrol boat cover and tractor assistance. The sessions are available most Tuesday evenings and Saturday mornings from June until the end of the school summer holiday. Those interested might also find the Coaching sessions of value.

Reservation is not mandatory but if you intend taking part you are encouraged to book via WebCollect (here).

Practice Sailing is a "self-help" activity; those who make use of it will, naturally, want to help run it occasionally. Volunteers are required to act as coordinators, patrol boat drivers and crew, tractor drivers, and beach crew. If you are logged in, the Duty Roster for this event is visible at the foot of this page. To volunteer, go to the Duty Roster, scroll to the appropriate day and click on the appropriate Volunteer button.

Each session will be subject to a minimum of three dinghies, a wind strength of F4 or below and sufficient volunteers to run it. For more detail read the Practice Sailing section of the SOP or go to the website Practice Sailing page.

The Club Boats page may also be relevant. To book a Club Boat, go to WebCollect.

Precise dates and times will be published in the Practice Sailing Programme.

Rowing

The Club's Bursledon Gig will not be available for rowing practice on Saturday 7 September - see Hamble Valley Regatta (here).

If you are interested in rowing at a particular session, you are advised to make this known via WhatsApp.
