Gunfleet Sailing Club members enjoyed a fresh force four, gusting five, onshore breeze on Sunday 8 September 2024 when they took part in the race for the Fleet Championships.  With a flood tide under them, the boats drew closer and closer to the line, the helms edging each other forward.  As the start flag fell from the yardarm it was clear that the majority of the fleet had jumped the line, so up went the General Recall flag and five minutes later the whole start sequence was repeated.

Gunfleet Sailing Club’s 2024 Cadet Splash took part over the three days of 27 – 29 August and was heralded a great success by all those taking part – both the participants and the helpers.  The weather was wall to wall sunshine, with a sailors’ wind throughout, although occasionally somewhat trying.  Two teams were chosen – The Frankie’s Stein, and the Five Part Turk’s Head; both names just rolling off the tongue!!  Our Cadet Officer Jo ran the whole thing, with a bunch of parent helpers, and a full and varied programme got underway.

Gunfleet Sailing Club held its annual Regatta, sponsored by Orsted Energy and Odiin Recruitment, over the weekend of 20 & 21 July with twenty-eight boats taking part in an offshore wind and a mixture of sunshine and clouds.
