The forecast has abated and the necessary OODs have volunteered so sailing is on tomorrow. Have fun.
RYA youth sailing courses
While the majority of our courses are now full we do have some availability:
YSS 06 – Start racing has spaces
YSS 07- we are now running 2 level 1 groups and have space for small Oppie sailors
We can also offer Spinnaker courses for those from the same household for the weeks YSS06-YSS08
If interested in any of the above please email me on training@suttonbinghamsc.net (please note I work full time so catch up with bookings in the evenings)
Saturday 25th Sailing
Just in case the weather forecastors are wrong, the ticketing system is up and running for those who wish to come to the club. Be aware though that if the wind forecast continues to be above 25mph on the Met Office or the necessary 3 OODs do not become available then the session will be cancelled. Please keep an eye on the email group and Facebook to find out Friday evening at 7pm.
The link to book is https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/saturday-social-sailing-tickets-114338557704
Also be aware that the rules have changed as follows –
As Sutton Bingham continues to develop sailing activities post COVID lockdown the club is offering Saturday social sailing for a maximum of 30 members on site, to comply with government restrictions.
OODs use 3 of those 30 places, so there are 27 individual places available to book to access the site and go sailing from now on. Only members who have booked online to sail or who are doing a duty should be on site.
Please book a place for every named sailor now, not just for your household bubble as was previously the case. No visitors please and sailors should be competent to manage their own rig, launch and recovery while being able to sail in the prevailing conditions without relying on rescue support.
Restrictions on double handed dinghies remain – they must be crewed from a single household bubble as it is difficult / impossible to properly socially distance in a sailing dinghy.
Sailing Sat 25th
Sailing on the 25th at the moment may not go ahead because the wind forecast is above the 25 mph limit and only one OOD has volunteered, please keep your eyes on the website and Facebook and the email group for further updates.
