Posted: Monday, 14 February, 2011

The 2011 race schedule is now online. The season opens on Sunday March 13 with the first of the April Shower series. To help make sure you don't miss out on any of the races the schedule is also available to import into Google Calendar, Outlook, iCal or iPhone/Android phones.

Slow Handicap Class Captain Needed

Posted: Tuesday, 02 November, 2010

Dan Harnett is standing down from the post of Slow Handicap class captain and is earnestly seeking a replacement. Toppers, Picos and Mirrors form the bulk of the class and there is a mix of adult and cadet owners, so the class captain will probably want to liaise with Siobhan and Alicia, the cadet class captains. It's not an onerous job - mostly, just keeping everyone in touch by e-mail and attending monthly sailing committee meetings as much as possible. Please let the club office know if you are interested.

Congratulations to Gavin and Mark - our Wanderer National Champions 2010

Posted: Tuesday, 13 July, 2010

Gavin Barr and Mark Skipper won the Wanderer National Championship at the club at the weekend from a fleet of 19 boats. The racing could not have been closer, and the icing on Gavin's cake was that he beat his son Tim into second place!

This is the fourth time Gavin has been Wanderer national champion.

Well done Gavin and Mark

Wanderer Nationals

Posted: Tuesday, 13 July, 2010

Thanks to all club members who helped us out with last weekend's Wanderer Nationals. It is not possible to run any open event without volunteers and we really appreciate those who gave up their valuable time to help us have a great event. Mark Fagg, event organiser.

Thank you from the Merlin Rocket Class

Posted: Sunday, 27 June, 2010

A big thank you to all the club members, and some who were not members, who worked so hard to make the Merlin open meeting such a success at the weekend. It was a fantastic weekend's racing and the club effort was much appreciated by all the competitors, and confirmed Whitstable's position on the Merlin map. Thank you all very much indeed.
John Cooper - Merlin class captain

I can see clearly now

Posted: Wednesday, 23 June, 2010

If you have been wondering about the UFO on the webcam for the past couple of days, you will be pleased to know that we've tracked it down and exterminated it. It was a humble blob of paint. Which reminds us to say thank you to all our volunteers who just quietly get things done in the background.

Members have initiated a programme to encourage cadets to go sailing. Cadets must be accompanied by an adult and provide their own equipment. It is being led by Annabelle Filer and details are as follows: More ›

Disposal of Boats

Posted: Tuesday, 15 June, 2010

There are a number of boats in the Chalet Park for which dues have not been paid and the original owners cannot be traced. It is the intention of the Sailing Committee to dispose of these boats in accordance with the procedures laid down by the Royal Yachting Association. Sealed bids for any of the equipment listed, which are as seen, are invited. Bids will be opened on 20 July 2010. Please send to: Sally Gostelow, Whitstable Yacht Club, 3-4 Sea Wall, Whitstable, Kent, CT5 1BX. Successful bidders will be notified in writing. More ›

Race officers required for Evening Series

Posted: Saturday, 29 May, 2010

We need race officers for the Evening Series. The next race is on Wednesday 2 June. Please put your names on the board in the club. If there are no volunteers there will be no race - and that would be a pity.

Well done Melanie

Posted: Tuesday, 11 May, 2010

Congratulations to our very own Melanie Rogers, who sailing with Dan Norman, won the Dart 18 Open at the club over the weekend. They scored two firsts, three thirds and discarded a fourth in a highly competitive 36 boat fleet. Very well done!

Race Officer Duties

Posted: Friday, 07 May, 2010
