Club Closed Sunday 16th February Due to Weather Forecast

15th February 2020 Louise Veryard Uncategorised

Please note that the club is closed again this weekend due to the forecast bad weather. There will be no duty team on Sunday.

Unfortunately Saturday 15th also looks like being a write-off so we are not able to recommend buddy sailing on as an alternative this week.

Icicle Trophy 2020

19th January 2020 Louise Veryard Latest News

The first Littleton Trophy event of the year took place on Sunday 5^th January. The Icicle Trophy was sailed in more pleasant conditions than it has been in some past years, and certainly not living up to its name on this occasion! Thanks go to Steve Jones and his team for setting some great courses resulting in some close racing over the three general handicap race series. In a total fleet of 15 entries, congratulations to Nick Pepper, who triumphed in his Laser, to take the trophy at the end of the day.
