Next Events
On Monday 30 August there is a visit to Bewl Valley
Sailing Club for Family sailing
and cruising; there should be a race for novices. It will be an excellent opportunity
for members to experience a relaxed day sailing on a large expanse of open water.
You don’t need to have a boat to bring and it should be a super experience for new
members. If you think you may come it is important to ring Richard on 01932 786636
to help plan boats required. General Bewl details.
At AQSC on the previous day, Sunday 29 August, there will be training for new members and fun sailing. Please support our new members.
AQSC Future Events for your diaries
Saturday 14 August was very wet but fortunately it was dry for the BYO BBQ and Sunbury Regatta fireworks in the evening; junior member Millie helmed the patrol boat taking 9 members to Sunbury Rivermead Island for an excellent view of the illuminated sail past and the fireworks; it wasn’t as crowded with cruisers as usual. Six members stayed at the club and said they could see the fireworks OK.
The Signet Open Meeting at Aquarius on 4 July was very successful. It was hot and fine with a force 3 to 4 shifty and fluky SW wind that gave challenging sailing; there were many changes of position. Keith Hatton and Mike Baker in ST369 won the last 2 races to claim the Hawker Trophy; a Hunter aileron bracket.
The cruise on 23 June was an excellent; but to the Weir Hotel instead of the Magpie so through the lock. There were 2 dinghies, 2 cruisers, a row boat, the patrol boat and 18 members.
On Monday 31 May twenty four members with 9 boats were made very welcome by Bewl Valley Sailing Club. Fortunately there was less wind than forecast and although rather cold the shifty and patchy force 2 to 3 gusting 4 wind was ideal for less experienced members.
On Sunday 30 May the activities day was very successful; the force 3 gusting 5 variable and shifty West wind gave excellent very exciting sailing. There was an excellent turnout of of about 35 members and guest with 16 youths. There were many capsizes with most needing assistance to recover.
