Please note that junior training will not take place on Saturday 12th May 2012.

This is due to the GP14 event taking place at the club over the weekend.

Training will resume Saturday 19th May 2012, 1030 – 1pm.

Juniors and parents are more than welcome to come along to the club and help out during the event.

Junior training will take place tomorrow morning (and every Saturday morning) from 1030 – 1pm.

Coaches are needed throughout spring, so if you can volunteer to coach or provide safety boat assistance it would be much appreciated for any Saturday.

Our first ever Easter Sailing Course proved to be a great success, with 25 young sailors taking to the water over 5 days.

It didn’t take long for the course to be fully booked out, which shows the demand for our hard working sailing school. There was a great range in age and ability but they all dealt with the challenging winds superbly. Many of the young sailors had already completed a previous course at CSBC, so we were delighted that so many were back to improve on their skills.

Spaces are already booking up fast for summer courses so we advise early registration to avoid disappointment.
