We’re barely into the new year and already activities are stacking up!
This coming weekend (12th and 13th January) is a Club weekend. This season we intend having a Fun Watersports Day on the Saturday of Club weekends:
11h00 Model Yacht racing at the Bridge Hut. Let’s start the year off well by getting the Model Boats up and running. Dave Booth will be there with his boat. Let’s see how many we can get to join him (Warwick, Keegan, Jacqui, Sven/Ingmar, Neville, etcetcetc)
Afternoon: As the sun is only going down around 20h00 at the moment, we have decided to schedule a TSC Sunset Picnic for Saturday 12th January. Join us on whatever watercraft you have – canoes, row boats, dinghies, power boats, sailing boats, you could even swim! We will meet on the Stoep at 14h00 to decide where to go (but most likely straight across from the club).
We will set a cruising course with boats leaving the club at 15h00 to reach the Picnic spot by 17h00 (or make your way straight there!) Pack a picnic basket and join us – try and make a point of meeting someone new! We will picnic until around 19h00 before making our way back to the club. Please note: NO fires will be allowed!
If you would like to join in, but have no means of getting there, or if you need transport for your picnic basket, or if you would like to experience one of the other watersport activities, come along at 14h00 and we’ll find a spot for you.
Sunday: Keelboat Racing.
Round the Buoys or Long Distance. Skippers Briefing at 10h00 on the Stoep. Start at 11h00. Anyone who would like to give it a go, come along at 10h00 and we’ll find you a spot.
Other upcoming events:
19th/20th January: Port Owen River Race for the Dinghy sailors.
26th/27th January: Hobie 14 Provincial Championship – TSC
