Sprint 15's

On 10/11th May 2008 the Sprint 15 Association has arranged (provisionally), to give its Northern Teach-In at Filey. The course runs over the two days and will cover the basics and niceties of boat set-up and sailing. This is ideal for beginners and more experienced hands alike. The association holds two teach-ins every year and by all accounts they are well worth attending.
** Now official, See Sprint Website **
The Filey Regatta (12/13th July 2008) will be the venue for one of the Sprint 15 northern traveller events.

There will be a change to the date of the Sail to Scarborough from Saturday 10th May to Saturday 26th April. Please alter your membership cards. This change has been made so that the Sail to Scarborough does not clash with the Sprint 15 training weekend.

Just a reminder about the first of four working parties. Sunday 17th Feb. starting at about 9.30am. Programme :- maintenance of clubhouse inside and out, make a start on completing the viewing area and begin to plan storage racks for kayaks and windsurfers. Please bring dust sheets, overalls, wire brushes, old paint brushes and emulsion rollers. Drinks will be supplied but bring your own food. If it's raining we'll just spruce up the inside of the clubhouse.
