Topper and Optimist Open
- Details
On Saturday, 13th May 14 young sailors (7 home competitors and 7 travellers from Burghfield, Papercourt and Goring on Thames) competed in the Maidenhead SC Topper and Optimist Open.
The sailors were blessed with good weather, mild, some sun in the afternoon, a bit of a variable wind from the south and south-west with a few gusts at times. The children coped admirably (even with a few capsizes). Well done to all!
Thank you very much to the race crew who ran three excellent races. A bit thank you to everyone else who contributed - coaches on the water, safety boat helms and crews, media team, pontoon team, those in the kitchen preparing and serving good and everyone else who got stuck in and volunteered, helping the event to run so smoothly and successfully.

Thanks for coming to our Open Day
- Details
A big thank you to all who came and made our Open Day a tremendous success. We were fortunate with some good breeze and the sun did try and come out after some grey skies early in the event. The club would like to thank our dedicated members for coming down and putting on a great show, whether you helped with parking, making cakes, serving behind the bar or kitchen, offering lifejacket assistance or taking guests out on the lake. We couldn't have done it without you.
As a result we've had a record number of new members this year and we'd especially like to give a warm welcome to all those who've joined up on the day or subsequently this week.
