Cruiser Class Dinner 2022

Submitted by jon1263

The Cruiser Class Dinner was held on Saturday 2nd April 2022. The black tie dinner went exactly to plan - which considering I didn't have much of a plan wasn't entirely surprising. This was the perfect way to celebrate the start of this year’s sailing season with the first race on Sunday 10th April. Thank you to everyone who turned up to make this such a fabulous evening!

Weymouth SC boat Jumble 23rd April Reminder

Submitted by nik911

We have had a lot of interest in having a pitch for the jumble but could still accommodate a couple more, if booked ASAP , contact scpitman@btinternet.com
For those of you who want to grab a bargain please delay your arrival until 10.00 to allow the safe arrival of vehicles with their bits and pieces.

There should be some really interesting items for sale as at least 3 sellers want to get rid of lots of items that they have been gathering for the last 40 years!

The Bar and Kitchen will be open.

Stories from the Slipway 5 – Après ski and underpants

Submitted by muy1275

It was autumn and our sailing for the season this year was over early. I had decided that I would move Othona, my wood Folkboat, to a mud berth for the winter. I had re-varnished the hull that spring and wanted to avoid any drying of the hull over winter which could cause the planks to open up.

Among the audience it was really good to see the WSC Cruising “grand daddy” of them all, Jeremy Parkinson. Equally, it was good to see some of our newer members in attendance, all keen to be inspired!

I bumped into Peter this morning at a well known DIY shop and despite bemoaning his low score on the WSC quiz and commenting that he was not the only one, he begged me to publish the answers. So here they are.......

Stories from the Slipway 4 - Sloshing around in the Solent

It was my first cruise in Dulcibella since the delivery trip in May when with Duncan, my ‘volunteered’ crew, we motored for twenty two hours from Eastbourne in a 3 knot easterly! Despite my late entry Ray managed to get me a slot at Lymington for the Sunday night, as for Yarmouth on Saturday night; well you can’t book you just cross your fingers.

Bangers and cash

Submitted by daddsie

WSC has taken the decision to try and get back to the new normal, allowing members to dip in or out of events both sailing or social as they feel comfortable with.

Last Friday, the 5th of November, we had planned to have a bangers and mash evening in conjunction with the councils firework display.

All was good until Amanda our amazing chef went down with Covid.

However, the day was not lost as the crew of Rumrunner, with their history of catering ability, volunteered to step in and help out.
