Sandhopper Open June 6th & 7th. 

 After the recent summer days the weather for the Open was a tad dissapointing but with Alan setting excellent courses giving two good races Saturday, although quite hard work, and Sunday making the best of a rapidly failing wind leaving the last race with only two finishers some excellent racing was enjoyed.

Overall winners John Primmet and Kevin Whittle S29, second Roger Lambourne & Peter Collier S34, last years winner and third Frank Levy & Peter Levy (Saturday) Nigel Whiting (Sunday) S40.

Thanks to all the support crews both on and off the water.

Open Day Sunday 10th May.

What an excellent day we had, clearly enjoyed by all the members and visitors who turned up to sail or just enjoy the day at Maylandsea Bay.

The bouncy castle and the face painting kept the children amused and the cream teas sold like, cream teas.

A steady stream of visitors took the oportunity for a sail in a dinghy or Sandhopper  keelboat.

A big thank you to all who helped with the day especially to Doreen for the organisation and to Pat for reserving me a cream tea.

Welcome to the new members who joined on the day and dont leave it too long till the next visit.

More photos in the gallery soon.

Easter 2009.

Despite the vast improvement on 2008 Easter's bad weather the 2009 got off to a slow start but in the end saw a good turnout and keen sailing. Thanks to Alan for the race organisation and the duty crews who turned up.
