Fisherrow Yacht Club Regatta - 12/13 September

07 Sep 2015 5:21 PM | Anonymous

This year we are trying something different at Fisherrow for our regatta, we are splitting our regatta into two one day events. Saturday 12th Sept will be the yacht regatta consisting of 3 short round the cans races and Sunday 13th Sept will be the dinghy regatta, 5 short races back to back.

We hope this format will prove more attractive to visitors and if you plan to bring your yacht to the Saturday, berthing in Fisherrow Harbour will be free for competitors on the Friday and Saturday nights.

I attach pdf files of the Notice of race, Sailing Instructions and entry form for your members convenience, all information can also be found on our website. Please could you circulate this information to your members.

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
