It's been good to see some of our newest members out on the water during summer - some of them have even been racing!
If you haven't managed a sail this summer, the Night Sail is a good one to finish on, so come down and join in the fun. Or just come down to watch. It's a relaxing way to spend an evening.
Happy sailing,

This month, we are looking for volunteers to help with training and to provide safety boat cover, so, if you have a few hours available, we would love to see you down at the club. Just let a committee member know that you will be happy to help, and when. Your participation is what makes MSC the success it is.
See you on the water,
