    Cruising to Ringstead Goes Ahead Despite Races Cancelled

    Although the annual Ringstead races and BBQ were cancelled on August B/H Sunday, there was still a healthy fleet of cruising boats making the trip across the bay. In a moderate South Easterly wind Double Vision, Merlot, Winters Maid, Solveig, Xanadu, Growling Cougar, Tilted and Moonshadow all had a cracking sail, whilst an ungainly looking mastless Crystella (waiting for new standing rigging before you ask!) rock and rolled to the anchorage under engine.

    The Cubies get their ladders!

    An important part of the ongoing moorings Health and Safety programme this season has been to have custom-made brackets built in order to fix the requisite safety ladders to the improved Cubie pontoon. On one of those glorious summer days when all sorts of cheery things were happening around the club, including helping the enthusiastic new owners to launch and prepare 'Pepperpot' for their first-ever sail - to Poole! - and a very busy YOBs session

    'A long haul upwind' - the development of women's sailing in Weymouth

    The process, whereby women became more equal participants with men in the sport of sailing, inevitably mirrors the struggle for women to obtain the vote, especially in the years between the partial success of 1918 and full suffrage in 1928 (see Joyce Marlow 2000, Jenni Murray 2018). Their struggle was against that apparent law of nature by which men had, for the half a century associated with the gradual decline of imperial power, congregated after retirement

    Back to Back for some

    Thursday 3rd July witnessed race 5 & 6 in the keelboat programme, race 5 for the Squib's and race 6 for the dinghy fleet. With temperature's on land over 20 degrees, out on the water was the place to be. The keelboat programme called for two races back to back and so a busy night for the race team ensued. With the wind flicking around either side of the Nothe, depending on where Viking was moored you either had

    50 years on

    Thanks to Chris Olding for the kind loan of the original handbooks, and to Steve HB for putting them online, members can now look back in some detail at what the Club was doing in 1975, and, for comparison, 1965 and 1985 as well. It is interesting to see what has changed - but also what hasn't! The handbooks can be read at history.wsc.org.uk. Steve Fraser
