This event normally attracts many competitors from south of the border so we hope to see you all again this year, and anyone else interested in tugs and the intricacies of towing is more than welcome to come along. Drinks and snacks will be available.

Well, after weeks of nice weather, very warm at times, but almost universally dry.... today was the exception.
It rained, and rained ... and rained.
But !!!
We had a great day. The boats sailed on throughout, although memo to self, an open boat in heavy rain means lots of syringing.
Many thanks to all the club's members who came out and helped set up, sail, spend money in the kitchen, and put away at the end.
And to the visitors who came and new members who joined ... we must have been doing something right.
Our next event is the Tug Towing Day, Sunday 14th June
A prospective course was discussed today....you may need to bring lots of motor and big batteries.
Looking forward to seeing everyone there, our regular (and trophy winning) friends from the south, and all our local tuggers.
