Dinghy Racing Reports

We’re just a few days away from one of the highlights of the year for Warsash SC sailors; the Club Championships, which will take place on Saturday 2nd May.

Entries have been flooding in; volunteers have been finalising plans and sorting logistics. Our chef, Billy has been beavering away to ensure we can be fed after the racing, pre-order your food here and the bar is ready to refresh thirsty competitors and their supporters.

Thank you to our sponsors – Henri Lloyd, North Sails and Xtremity Sports – for their generous support and to the volunteers who have stepped forward to help run the event, with particular thanks to Peter Knight and his experienced Race Team.

We’re still looking for a RIB driver and three RIB crews. If you’re available and would like to join the action then please volunteer via the Duty Roster. Thank you.
