The day started with a well attended Race Officer training session lead by Richard E., former Club Training Principal. We learned how to run a good race and lay a fair course.
The afternoon saw nine boats dusted off for the first race of the season. At last the Icebreaker Trophy could be awarded ... to Richard E! (Slow fleet). First in the Fast fleet was Colin C., and Catamaran fleet was won by our Cadet Captain Malcom with his crew Ken.
We also celebrated the wedding of Adrian and Janet who have been club members for over 50 years. They decided “it was about time!” to tie the knot. Club members were treated to slices of their delicious triple layer wedding cake, made by the groom and beautifully decorated by their daughter. Many congratulations from everyone at BSC!
Coming up on Easter Monday, April 21, Bexhill Sailing Club is delighted to invite the public to an Open Day. If you’ve ever been interested in sailing or were once a sailor, this is an excellent opportunity to come and explore whether the club is a good fit for you. You will have the chance to chat with existing members, ranging from last year’s novices to seasoned pros. Why not stay for the afternoon race – watching from our lovely balcony.
Our Club Commodore expressed her excitement about BSC’s Open Day, saying: “We’re thrilled about the prospect of meeting the local community who might not realise they could be sailing solo by the end of the season.
"We hope to see you here on Easter Monday.”
