The recent Family/Try a Boat Day was a huge success, with sun and a moderate breeze all day, giving us perfect sailing conditions.

The day was greatly supported by both locals and visitors wishing to try sailing for the first time, and in some cases overcoming a fear of sailing itself.

We had two Cruisers offering a taste of sailing on bigger boats, and our thanks go to Graham and Kevin for making this available.

Other boats out on the water included the Wayfarer World, Omega, GP14, Iso, Picos and Toppers. Thanks to all the Instructors, Shore Organisers and Safety Boat Crew for making this such an enjoyable and safe experience.

Thanks must also go to all the 'chefs' for providing such a great BBQ, and to all those who kindly donated a wonderful assortment of baking goodies.

There was a lot of preparation beforehand, both in the clubhouse and in the dinghy park, and many thanks to all involved.
