Club Sails Update

Early Season Availability and Plans

Thank you to everyone who has replied with requests for places on upcoming Club Sails. All the dates received so far have been noted, and below is the updated list of proposed Club Sails for the first half of the year. There is still plenty of availability, so please let me know when you would like to sail.

Short Notice Sailing

A number of members have expressed interest in a short‑notice WhatsApp group for last‑minute sailing opportunities. The group is now active and available for anyone wishing to post or join short‑notice trips. To make this work effectively, we need more members involved. If you are open to last‑minute sailing, please let me know and I will add you to the group.

Mini Cruise to the West Country

There is growing interest in arranging a mini cruise to the West Country this year. If you would like to be involved, please let me know. Although we did not manage it last year, the previous trip—returning from Plymouth via Fowey and the Yealm—was very successful, and it would be good to organise something similar.

Members who have already expressed interest include:

  • Sue T
  • David F
  • Peter C
  • Stuart W

If enough people are keen, a separate discussion will be arranged to explore possible dates.

Updated Club Sail Proposals

Please review the updated list of proposed Club Sails for the first half of the year and let me know which dates you would like to join. I understand not everyone can plan far ahead, so I will continue to circulate updated schedules throughout the season. Shorter‑notice opportunities will remain entirely possible and will be added in response to demand.
