We have four people signed up and are looking to expand the group. If you know of any interested people please contact Craig Taylor.
Autumn and winter often offers the most settled sailing conditions.
The course will also integrate with Rowie’s Autumn series and course participants may like to extend their sailing into the racing on Sunday after lunch.
It would be good to have a full course (i.e 12 people) as Learn to Sail Courses do bring new members in to the club and therefore we would love you to promote the course to people who you feel might be interested.
If this Sunday is too short notice there would be no difficulty with additional participants starting on the 18th with the 10 Sundays running from then.
