Summer luncheon on Friday 21st June

Please book with Amanda by emailing galley@wsc.org.uk

The record Transmanche time for a Cherbourg boat is 6 hours 45 minutes, achieved by 'Metis', a Cherbourg Grand Surprise without a spinnaker in 2011, in a NW force 7, sailed by my friends Wilfried and Fred with a couple of mates. It was also the year we broke the boom on the way over at night in 'Protocole', a Beneteau 40!

The event is growing in popularity among French sailors from Le Havre to Granville, not least for the welcome they receive at WSC, and we look forward to a good crowd both in Cherbourg and Weymouth this year.

On Saturday 4th May “Jelenko” entered the Cervantes 2019 Trophy, crewed by Al Doughty and Ian Cheke. In IRC 3 and 2 handed series, 159nm of the 300nm required by RORC for Fastnet entry.

The Cove Pontoon engineering work is now underway.

You can watch the action live from Weymouth harbour on the Harbour Master's webcam or the Old Harbour Dive Centre.

The Walcon Barge and work boat have been busy on their first day of work, pulling out the rotten green oak piles.

The work is expected to take 10 working days.

Waking in a chilly dawn on board with the promise of N 5-6 to blow me on my way was not a hugely motivating start to the season, though the prospect of ending the day abroad for a change got me up and going, leaving the bay for the first time this year as the sun rose south of St Alban's, and the wind gradually filled in, from the NW then the true wind from the north, giving a pleasant if chilly broad reach down to the traffic in mid-Channel.
