After two Sundays of contrasting weather the competition has been keen in both classes, 21 visitors from clubs all round the South East joined a big club turnout for this annual event. Day one was blessed with light winds to get the event started with 49 boats on the start lines.

On Sat 8 December, the members at the Christmas Dinner voted for our brand new committee boat’s name. After 21 years of service, Wot 4 (our previous boat) has now been decommissioned from the club. After failing to come up with the name themselves, the General Committee asked the members to decide. And YKnot? For that is the name of the new boat.
The Clubhouse Galley will be re-opening this coming weekend (1st December) serving hot meals, snacks and drinks each Saturday and Sunday. Please place your orders for lunches in the clubhouse by 11am.
