Boat and Trailer Parking
Posted: Wednesday, 25 February, 2009
Canterbury City Council will be undertaking reinforcing works on the West Quay starting in March through to June. This will mean that the West Quay will not be accessible in the normal way, severely curtailing the useable boat parking areas available to the club. More

Quiz Nights Blast Off
Posted: Friday, 07 November, 2008
A nail-biting finish to the first of the new quiz night series on Friday (7th November). Excellent evening, some very in-ter-esting questions and the start of a gourmet challenge on the 'bring your own nibbles' theme. Plenty of scope for more teams:- you have a month to polish the brain cells before the next round on 12th December. Losing team must set and present the next set of questions - well done, Andrew Folkard's team. We look forward to your challenge.
New Racing Rules
Posted: Thursday, 02 October, 2008
The Racing Rules of Sailing (RRS) are updated every four years just after the Olympics. The new 2009 rules therefore run through until after the next games, i.e 2012. ISAF has published the new rules. A summary of the changes with explanations, together with the new rules can be seen at www.madforsailing.com (for those with access to this site). More
Forts Race
Posted: Monday, 22 September, 2008
A truly successful weekend. Fifty entries, sunshine and good sailing breezes. Well done to the organising team… and here’s an extract from an e-mail just received from Don Findlay, our guest race officer:- “Thank you for making us so welcome. It is a joy to come to WYC each year. I cannot stress too strongly that the control of the RIBs and drivers by Ian is exemplary.” Congratulations to Rob Laws and Stuart France, first WYC boat at 6th overall.
Winter Evenings
Posted: Saturday, 16 August, 2008
We have plans for a series of winter talks and presentations. An excuse to foregather for a drink and learn something interesting! Do you have any requests or suggestions for topics? Needn't be 100% sailing related. Please send a note to Mel in the office.
