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,
