2025 – Ready for the new season

The 2025 sailing season is upon us! The club marked this in our traditional way with our Going Afloat Supper. This year it was held at the Trafalgar pub in Greenwich with over 40 members in attendance. It was an excellent occasion, we enjoyed good food and good company, complete with a raffle and quiz.

Our attention turns to the sailing programme, with our first shakedown cruise over to the Folly on the Isle of Wight. Following this we have our Yarmouth and Beaulieu cruises.

Our weekly programme continues, we’ve had some great talks recently, including the Thames Boat Project, and covering topics from Greenland to Turtles. Coming up we have a talk on the Bark Europa.

Our Round the Island race crew have kicked off their training with a Solent shakedown in good conditions.

We have five members attending the Little Ships Club’s training on practical weather forecasting, we’ll be looking to them prior to our upcoming rallies to provide an accurate forecast!

All of the highlights I have mentioned are down to the contribution of our members and committee, so my thanks to all of them for their work!

If you’re reading this and are not a member, but perhaps browsing and curious about joining, please don’t hesitate to get in touch, we’re a really friendly club with something for everyone. Drop us an email to know more.

Fair winds to all members and sailors as our season gets under way!
