7th June 2025
A dreadful forecast of constant rain and no wind, but ten boats set out motor-sailing to Limekilns. And after refreshments at their excellent and hospitable clubhouse, we had a fine sail back on a southerly wind. And the rain didn’t arrive until we were ashore.

I believe there is no clash with any cruises in company though obviously the 2025 sailing programme is not yet finalised.
You will all have seen the red weather warning issued for Friday 24th January with southwesterly then westerly winds gusting at 80mph+ forecast.
If you have a boat on the pontoon please ensure that your lines are well in place, and in both our yards check that you have tied down anything loose (particularly inflatables). We will be strongly discouraging access to the yard and pontoon tomorrow and club boats should not be used.
Stay safe!
