An all round good time
rti2Of the 15 Weymouth boats who entered this years Round the Island race, 8 turned out at 7am on a beautiful sunny morning for the first ever feeder race to Cowes. Using Weymouth Sailing Club (hut) start line the wind died minutes before the start to leave many yachts on course side. Some 15 minutes before all were away and patience soon ran out with Rattler being the first to retire closely followed by Manana. This only left Tumba Rhumba in the PY class but their frustrations got the better of them and they motored off to Cowes. Those remaining were soon rewarded by a freshening breeze and they  thundered towards St Aldhelms. After a few tangles with the range boats the headland was rounded & the Needles lighthouse was in sight. Unfortunately the wind died across the bay and the transit times taken at St Aldhelms were used to finish the race. 4 boats made declarations all of them IRC class.

Mark and Rima's wedding

mark_and_rimaHas the club ever hosted the wedding reception of its Commodore before?

On Friday 4 June in glorious sunshine Mark and Rima Bugler arrived in the club to join friends and family to celebrate their marriage.  The club's safety boat resplendent with balloons and bunting and accompanied by Nigel Lawrence playing the accordian brought the happy couple across the harbour.

In his speech Mark thanked all the club members who had helped set the tables and decorate the Longshed for the reception and particularly Daphne Samways who created the cake in the shape of Saskia V.  The happy couple have set off on their honeymoon in Saskia V cruising the Normandy coast.

The club wishes them many years of happy sailing together.
