  SB20s Invitation Race August 2026

  Four SB20’s with a total of 15 members aboard enjoyed a warm, light wind, evening race on Monday 3rd August. The event brought together complete novices, new members, youth sailors and those from other classes wanting to try the boat together with some of the clubs more experienced members. I think this demonstrates the flexibility of these boats.  Steve Dadd RO set an excellent windward leeward course which is best suited to this class.

  Race to Alderney, and a lively time at Braye Harbour!

  Chat in the Bar on the Thursday evening before the club’s first trip to Alderney in some year’s all centered on the weather. There would be 3-4m residual swell the next morning, forecast gale force winds for the Saturday with Braye Harbours mooring bouys the only relief from the elements, and a hoped for abating of the wind on the Sunday to allow everyone to return safely. A number of experienced boats had already decided

  Milford Haven to Ardrossan (Scotland)

  We left Milford Haven on the evening of the 15th May and headed to the island of Skomer. We stayed one rocky night here surrounded by Puffins and seals before heading off at 4:30am the next day to cross Cardigan Bay. Our first hurdle was navigating the tidal races off of St Davids Head. We were at peak springs so the races here were huge, we decided to avoid them by heading out West of the

  Falcons at the Shambles!

  WSC has always had a close relationship with the Shambles, and some members will remember the high point of the old Shambles race being the chance to exchange greetings with the crew of the lightship as we rounded. The tradition continues with members regularly sailing their boats out there for a shakedown or a bit of fishing, even if these days a visit to the bank does not have quite the romance it had back

  Round Britain – Weymouth to Milford Haven

  Ive been going for 2 weeks so far and have made it as far as Milford Haven after a rough 34 hour passage from St Ives via Padstow. It was a fantastic passage with dolphins, puffins, and seals but also strong winds. I will now have to wait here in Milford Haven while a couple gales pass through. The highlights of the trip so far have been steaming around the Lizard with 3 knots of tide pushing

  Final Winter Walk

  Sundays walk started from the Springhead pub in Sutton Poyntz and was led by Penny and Mike Fenwick accompanied by 14 WSC and WRC members.
