Social Sailing Sessions
Our Social Sailing Sessions are now back on a Wednesday evening and once again proving popular. We are sending notifications out via email to all members to ensure it’s on so make sure you keep an eye on your inbox.

Where possible, if it is looking a little breezy for new/inexperienced sailors we will try and pop notifications on our Facebook page, so make sure you’ve signed up to follow it.
