WELCOME THE START OF THE AUTUMN SERIES

........and the Clubhouse is open every Wednesday evening

This coming Sunday 15 September we hold the first race in the Autumn Series, starting at 11:00.  And remember that, this Wednesday evening, from 19:30 the Club is open for a drink and a chat, as it is every Wednesday.

There is always so much going on down at the Gunfleet.

 

Latest Reports

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.

2024 Regatta Slideshow

Photographer Colin Waddell has kindly put together a slideshow of the 2024 Gunfleet Regatta weekend (interspersed with bits of film). We'll leave it here on the front page for now and archive it with the main report later.
