This Friday 20th is our prizegiving, new members and pre season social evening.

Catch up with new and old friends, rivals and sailing buddies, get a brief overview of this years club activities, meet your fleet reps and collect your accolades for 2025.

Any formalities will be kept short for maximum social time, and hot off the press (or out of the oven) news - pasties are included!

Please let Sharon know if you would like a pasty so we can get a gauge on numbers.

Club and bar open from 7pm, with proceedings starting at 7:30.

Cash only at the bar please, we are having trouble with the card machines.

Next up in our winter programme we have in quick succession our rules evenings on 27th Feb followed by winter sailing 2 on the 28th Feb (signup to come shortly).

The rules evening will be an accessible, social evening lead by Neil Andrew (former international race office and juror) and is open to all levels of racing sailor from beginner to seasoned vets. It promises to be both light hearted and informative.

Pastys are included but it would be most helpful if you could let Sharon know you are coming so she can get a gauge on numbers.

And yes, I did get AI to make a poster for me.

Last call to members for the race team course this Saturday 31st!

Suitable for all levels and not just for race officers, anyone who carries out their duties on oyster will benefit.

Booking is open on webcollect

Once again we have entered the depths of cornish winter and early spring, but never fear, because we still have a social, sailing and training calendar lined up for you.

Sailing -

After the success of last years winter sailing sessions, we are repeating with the same format - two safety boats, short course informal racing around a training course on Saturday mornings.

Dates as follows: Feb 14th, Feb 28th, March 14th, March 28th.

Signup emails to follow. Please note that safety cover will be on a voluntary basis, and if you are signing up to sail for a session it will be expected that you will pay it back by helping out in a subsequent session.

Social -

February 27th - Rules Clinic, an informal RRS evening with Neil Andrew

March 7th - RSC mark laying course

March 20th - Preseason social! - Prizegiving and new members nights combined.

Training -

Happy sailing, tinkering, or just plain hiding next to the fireplace.
