News from Maylandsea Bay S. C.

A most serious meeting of the head honchos took place at the sailing club in which a most excellent and detailed report of membership and finance was presented to the gathered membership. picture Maylandsea with water Having listened to the reports, all the proposals and planed events I feel optimistic that the fat lady has not put her jewellery on yet, never mind entered the stage. Mr Wigg and myself had the plan to sit firmly on the hands and say nothing. But some how I am now dinghy captain and Wiggy is gagging to do something.
It would be most improper to divulge details but the clubs facilities are as good as you will see any where on the east coast with the club sitting on top of the bay overlooking the saltings and Lawling creek. It may be the trump card held by the club is its ability to run sailing through the winter season as it does not ice over and is sheltered from rough water with Mundon spit being to the north. The sailing water itself has all the fetches a racing dinghy team could ask for with the opportunity to chance clear wind out in the tide or lighter fluky airs closer to the headlands. Races can be won and lost in a moment with the knowledge that it will not be the same on the next rounding.
The Maylandsea Bay Winter series has already started but there is still time to race in 6 races with 1 discard, 5 to count. It is an all in handicap affair; one start, one course with tea/bacon sandwiches and a splat the duck competition (at the moment being lead by Kevin Whittle under a Fireball) with prizes for overall and best in fleet being more than three off. All are most welcome especially those wishing to sail in the back of the fleet where it is as hard to be last as it is to be first.
Racing will take place on the 11th at 11:00, 25th at 10:30 and the 9th at 10:00.
The Blackwater Icicle is to be sailed on the 6th Jan. at 10:00.
If I can be of any assistance at the club please do not hesitate to make contact (I am the tall blond one with lots of hair, in pink)Results to date
