    Sunday is the main sailing day with three races (click here to see the racing schedule and times) as well as the Barnstormers Junior Sailing School.
    Tuesday is our TrySail training and cruising night, for both members and guests.
    Wednesday is our hotly contested summer evening series.
    On Saturdays there's two handicap races, slightly less "full on" than Sundays and perfect for beginners taking their first steps into racing.  
    Cruising is encouraged at weekends and of course on summer Tuesdays. If you want to cruise on Wednesday you must volunteer to do a Wednesday duty  - safety cover on Wed is provided by Wed sailors.

    The winter programme consists of Sunday racing and we often have more winter racers than summer. Winter-only memberships are available, for one or both of the two winter series.
    Throughout the year there are Open Meetings for our adopted classes and squad traning.  See our RYA Training courses
    All sailors please pay attention to our Sailing Safety Regulations
