Club Race Coach and Oppie specialist Tim Lachlan-Cope is planning to run some Optimist Training on Sundays for those who are interested.

The first session will be at 12:00 this Sunday (15th April) - it should last no more than one hour and include some short, fun races.

Training is open to all levels, from beginner to expert.  To find out more contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

Please note that there will be no oppy training for a few weeks. The next session will be on Sunday 27th May.

The summer term is here and there are plenty of opportunities to get on the water!

Starting on Sunday 15th April at 12 noon there will be Optimist training every Sunday for all levels of young sailor.  Training will involve freindly advice on how to set up and get the best out of your oppy, plus lots of advice on becoming a better, faster sailor.  The club has four oppies for hire at the usual rates, available on a first come, first served basis.  If you do hire one, please make sure you take the right rigging and rudder from the equipment store as they are not interchangeable, and replace them neatly after us.  Training will last around an hour and should include at least one short race.  Look for Tim Lachlan-Cope for more information.

Thursdays Afloat

For all the young sailors looking to have fun on the water!  Thursdays Afloat is supervised by Instructors who set up games, races and activities that help improve sailing and build water confidence.  Please aim to be ready to go afloat at 6pm.  Parents must sign in their children and must stay on site at all times.  Squash and biscuits provided, club boats for hire at the usual rates.

Tuesday Cruising

For those who want a pleasant evening sail but with a safety boat in attendance.  The club house will be open, but not the galley, so why not bring a picnic and enjoy some time by the lake?  The Scouts launch a safety boat at around 4.30 and finish at around 7.30pm, and will help out if you need them on the water!

Women on the Water

For those who haven't braved the winter cold, now's the time to wash away the cobwebs and rejoin your friends for a friendly sail with tea, coffee, cake and chat to follow!  Sailors should ideally be around L1 standard, and informal instruction will help you build water confidence.  Aim to launch at around 10am, off the water at 12.

All the above sessions are FREE to HSC members!
