SAIL4ALL

Sail4All (S4A) returns to the club on Saturday 1st May (14.00). Sessions are essentially a free sail with safety cover, though we are trying something new and innovative this season, adding some additional value for those who wish to benefit. The plan is to team up members who are new to sailing, or wish to refresh their knowledge, with more experienced members who kindly volunteer to transfer their own skills through demonstration and example afloat.

More information on S4A and our new "confidence builders" may be found on the club training page HERE. Come and enjoy a great Saturday afternoon on the water and enjoy what the club has to offer on a non-race day.

Feel free to ring or email the S4A coordinator, Andy Eastaugh, whose contact details may be found at the link.

To avoid an unfortunate stain on the breakfast tablecloth the Castle cove committees have been working hard to make sure that everything is in place to benefit from the enthusiasm and activity that is about to be released. So, Welcome to the new sailing season. That feels great to say. After all the frustration of the past 12 months it looks like we are going to get a great season of sailing activity. We have a full programme of racing, cruising and training activities which will hopefully enable you to find something that you can join in with and enjoy. The programme will be published in the handbook but it is also available from the link on the website. As you will see it is a full calendar but let me give you some of the highlights.
