Mast Down

Posted: Tuesday, 16 December, 2008

Members are reminded that masts of boats on the beach and the West Quay must be lowered for the winter months. Please do this as soon as possible. Masts that have been taken down should be stored in such a way that pedestrians walking amongst the boats are not inconvenienced or endangered. Anyone wishing to continue sailing through the winter should let the office and their Class Captain know. Last year the Whitstable residents were really appreciative of the masts being lowered and we wish to retain their goodwill next year. Thank you for your co-operation.

We are in need of a Class Captain for the cadets. We have a large number of cadets and, as a club, would like to find out what you need as a group - from social events to training issues. We need a person who is prepared to come to either the Sailing Committee meetings or, if school/homework does not permit, send an email which can be read out at this committee. If you are interested, please add your name to the list on the Club Notice Board or, if this is not possible, email the office (office@wyc.org.uk). COME ON....this is your chance to get what you want from your Club! DEADLINE: 17 NOVEMBER.

Chris Partington and Jack Skipper "sailed a blinder" to take 3rd place, beating several top Wanderer class sailors in the process. Well done Team WYC!
