Sailing Questions

Questions primarily relating to navigational issues, the environment in which we sail and the relevant sailing bodies, interspersed with two or three questions on significant sailing events. We will be in teams, but the emphasis will be on reminding ourselves, rather than achieving a high score, i.e. it will not be a quiz as such. by Derek

Visitors are welcome on any Thursday club night held at the VBS Community Stadium
