Richard and Pat Groves have made a generous donation to the YOB's (Youths on Boats).  Friends and relatives who attended their Golden wedding anniversay party clubbed together to make a donation of £300. 

The YOB's will be using the money to purchase a data projector with the money. The projector will be a useful tool in the cadet winter programme and will also be available for Club use.

Thank you very much Richard.

The WSC Handbook signals the start of a new season and club members wait for it with anticipation.  With 700 members currently on the register, sending out the Handbooks is no easy task so a 'stuffing party' of volunteers meet up to sort out the paperwork.  Many hands .... as they say.

Mike and Penny Fenwick in Squib Ghost Rider are on the 2008 cover photographed during their winning trip to the Squib National Championships in Abersoch.  Mike was also responsible for updating the Handbook in his role as Sailing Secretary.  Many thanks also to Chris Olding for recruiting sufficient advertising to cover the cost of printing and mailing and to Lyn Atkins for compiling the Spring Newsletter. 

The Winter Social Programme is now in full swing.  If you have lost your copy download it from the links below.

Many thanks to Sue Ives and Josie Dadds for their work compiling the winter programme and to Lyn Atkins to putting the Newsletter together.

The Prizegiving Dinner Dance at the Riviera Hotel got the 'thumbs up' from members who enjoyed dancing the night away at the new venue.  The Riviera has been booked again for next year - even more reason to get try to win a trophy in 2008.

The keenly fought for Frostbite Trophy was won this year by Simba with Ricky Bruton and helmed by Bob Turner.   A good turnout of 24 cruisers competed this year on a cold grey morning.  Boats are traditionally gunned across the finish line outside the Clubhouse, by cannons.  For complete results go to the Result pages.  Cruiser IRC results are also available - for information only!

 Weymouth Sailing Club promotes sailing in the port of Weymouth.

The club has substantial premises in a prime location on Weymouth's beautiful harbour, moorings for about 120 boats, a dinghy park and a slipway. It is primarily a racing club and runs a full race programme from April to December, but there are also many members whose main interest is cruising. The Club also has an active social programme.

Classes catered for are IRC, Fast and Slow Cruisers, National Squib fleet (at present 33 Squibs are registered), and thriving handicap dinghy fleet.  The WSC YOBs (Youths on Boats) have a fleet of club RSFevas and Optimists.

We feel very fortunate to sail in the waters of Weymouth Bay, selected as the venue for the sailing events in the 2012 Olympics.

Visiting yachtsmen are very welcome to come and enjoy our Club facilities.

The bar and galley is open on Friday evenings, Saturday lunchtimes and evenings and Sunday lunchtimes providing good quality food at a good price.  Our chef Peter Barlow is very happy to accomodate larger groups of sailors but it is worth checking with the club in advance.

The clubroom provides an ideal spot to watch the comings and goings in Weymouth Harbour. There is free Wifi use and computer access and up-to-date wind anemometer data.
