Cherbourg YC visits Weymouth |
|
Yacht Club de Cherbourg contacted WSC to ask if they could hold their post Transmanche Race get-together in the club. The group arrived in the habour at lunchtime on Sat 12 June. Steve Fraser was on hand to greet them in the club and 'Pippa' became a committee boat on Sunday morning for a very early start to their race back to France.
The YCC race back to Cherbourg started from a line at X and included a short windward leg to D mark in perfect conditions with a light, shifting breeze.
The club is hoping to organise a cross-Channel event with YCC for next year.

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.
