Welcome to Weymouth Sailing Club
Our cadets have started to find out how to maintain a dinghy with the hands on approach. Over the next few weekends they will be rubbing down, cleaning, painting and maintaining our dinghy fleet. The group are being lead by Nathan Moss our cadet captain, who's doing a great job of rounding up the team. Well, done everyone who have already taken part.

I'm sure you're all very impressed with the fantastic progress made in transforming 'Viking II' into the new WSC committee boat. Don Cutler has been working tirelessly from dawn 'til dusk tackling the myriad of tasks. I wouldn't be surprised to find a bed in the cabin with the amount of time he spends on the boat ! 
Fortunately the weather has been kind to the team which has allowed some important milestones to be completed - particularly fitting of the windlass and completion of the hull paintwork and finally she is ready for launch.
Viking II will be launched down the slipway on Monday 6 April followed by Don at the helm for an important sea trial. A naming ceremony and thank-you to the helpers will be held in the Club yard on Sunday 5 April at 15.00 hours.

On Saturday 31 January, 12 members of our club took part in an RYA First Aid Course. The course was run by Tony Wood our local Onboard man who also happens to be a paramedic.
Tony managed to cover all areas needed to pass this course using his professional knowledge & past experiences, even though he had a crowd that could have passed for one of his Onboard training days.
We would like to thank Steve Dadd for his input & maybe he could run over some of the jokes I didn't understand another time.

Did you ever wonder where the Club's ground chains come from?
Well it's the used chain from the Studland ferry - yes, it's that stuff that you see lying by the side of the road by Studland Beach.
Messrs Brookman and Pitman negotiated with the ferry company and purchased the chain at a fraction of the cost of new. Problem? Delivery not included.

Weymouth Sailing Club annual Prizegiving Dinner Dance was held on Saturday 17 January 2009 at the Riviera Hotel Weymouth. 175 members and guests enjoyed an excellent meal followed by the handing out of trophies and dancing to 'The Crack'. 
Commodore WSC Melita Biggs made a speech with a summing up of the year's sailing and thanked particulary Sue Ives and Josie Dadd for organising the evening and Sue Stow and Catherine Jacobs for collecting and sorting out the trophies. Traditionally there is a competition to guess the length of the speech. This year's winner was Mark Champion, crew on Saskia VI, who correctly guessed 11 mins 24 seconds. Proceeds of £181 are donated to RNLI.
Many members stayed overnight at the hotel and took advantage of the swimming pool and other facilities on offer. Guests at the dinner were the Mayor and Mayoress of Weymouth and Portland Tim Munroe and Alison Cocks, Commodore RDYC Gareth Peaston and Linda Peaston, Commodore CCSC Sara Lloyd and David Lloyd, Royal Naval Sailing Association Richard Stevens and Jenny Stevens and Coxswain Weymouth Lifeboat Andrew Sargent and Helen Sargent.
