A pie, a pint and points of sail

In the run up to our closed regatta at the end of August, two of our experienced regatta sailors, Jim Sinclair and Ben Wilcox, will lead a session on hints and tips on regatta racing next Saturday, 21 July.

The session will be held in the bar after racing next Saturday (so starting around 5.30/6pm) and will be of interest to anyone who intends to enter the regatta, or just wants to participate in club racing.

There is fresh keg of beer (other drinks, or a cup of tea, will be available!) and pies will be provided so please do come along.

Hope to see you there.

The Social Team

As many of you will have noticed, our clubhouse roof is leaking, with tubs in the café and buckets in the attic, it’s clear that it now needs to be replaced to protect our much-loved clubhouse for the future.

The good news is that work is underway. Planning permission has been granted, and the project is expected to cost around £50,000. We’ve already secured a £5,000 grant from the North Berwick Trust, are applying for more funding, and will carefully use club reserves while keeping the club financially secure.

Fundraising will play an important part, and we’re keen to make this a fun and engaging process for everyone. Our target for this year, 2026, is £5,000. There are lots of ways to get involved
