A fantastic weekend with ideal conditions for our latest RYA Level 1course. After a light wind introduction on Hot Saturday, Sunday filled the sails and raised the ante with the sailors, now able to display their certificates, responding positively. They will be back for our development sessions on Sunday mornings to consolidate the learnings. A great reward for the team of volunteer instructors and safety boat drivers who made it happen.

Thought you might like to see Emily and Rolo after their trip out.
One of the three people who joined the club this weekend, Emily, who is already a skilled sailor took her delightful dog Rolo out with her in a borrowed ILCA as she didn't want to leave him in a hot car. Despite not being a water loving dog, Rolo gradually gained confidence and the pair joined in the afternoon racing.
Emily has now ordered a doggie bouyancy aid for Rolo

Had a callout today from Stockport Federation of Anglers for our safety boat to help rescue a fish tangled up on a line caught in bushes on one of the islands. Our Powerboat Instructor responded and with help from Fed officials, Hippo was launched, deployed, recovered and put back in its home after a successful rescue.
Maybe not saving lives at sea, but one life in a lake.

Well done to the five members who passed their RYA Level 2 this weekend. It was a challenge for everyone after the high-pressure scored us nil wind for sailing on Saturday morning. Nevertheless, we concentrated on essential dry land activities until the afternoon brought a bit of a stir and we completed all the programme by the end of Sunday.
It was the first full course for our three new instructors and the team worked really well together

The club now has new-to-us Wayfarers and one had its first outing during Sunday morning sailing. We are looking forward to the first of our 2026 RYA Courses on April 25/26. There is space available - anyone wanting to do it needs to join the club as we are only permitted to train our own members.

Well done to the four successful candidates who braved the cold weather to master the skills needed for the RYA Powerboat Level 2 certificate over the seasonal break. All four were excellent students and they progressed rapidly but also safely .
