The Committee is excited to welcome everyone back for the start of the Twilight Sailing Series this evening! As every sailor knows, the weather, wind, and tide have the final say on when the fleet returns, but we expect to start 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝟳:𝟬𝟬𝗽𝗺 - 𝗗𝗿𝗮𝘄 𝗮𝘁 𝟴:𝟬𝟬𝗽𝗺.

It's the perfect chance to unwind with fellow members and supporters, swap stories from the water, meet our skippers, and if you've ever thought about getting involved, let them know you're keen to sail.

Great company, great prizes, plenty of sailing banter, and a wonderful way to support the club!

We're calling on all 🖥️ Laptop Warriors, 📱 Smartphone Addicts, ⌨️ Keyboard Ninjas, 🕵️ Professional Button Clickers, and ☕ People Avoiding Actual Work… to head over and take the new website for a spin.

If you spot something missing, or not working quite right, we'd love your constructive feedback. The more eyes we have on it, the better we can make it for everyone. There are some areas marked "under contruction" or "coming soon".

✅ Check it out
✅ Have a browse
✅ Share your feedback by direct message to our web admin Jules
✅ Help us make it even better

💚Thanks for being part of the CYCHI community and helping us level up our online home! Together, we can make it even better.
