The Sailing Club's Constitution, updated in November 2007,
can be viewed here.
The
purpose of the club is to encourage dinghy sailing and promote the amateur
sport of sailing in
Cheshire
and surrounding counties.
Members
need not own boats nor have previous sailing experience. We encourage a
helpful friendly family atmosphere in which members of all abilities and
ages are welcome.
The
most popular boats sailed are GP14, Laser, Solo, Topper, Mirror, Heron &
Comet.
Organised
racing takes place generally on a Sunday between March and December.
Through
out the summer months leisure sailing is encouraged on a Saturday and on a
Wednesday evening we hold both leisure sailing and informal racing events.
Members are welcome to sail on other days but safety cover in the form of a
rescue boat may not be present.
More
experienced Club members are available to offer help and advice should it be
required. The club is a recognised Royal Yachting Association (RYA) Training
Centre and courses are arranged for various levels.
The
Clubhouse, changing facilities and galley are available to members and
social events are organised throughout the year.
In
order to keep Subscription rates down members are expected to be involved
assisting with race management, maintenance and galley duties. These are not
too onerous but tend to encourage a friendly atmosphere.
If
you would like further information you are welcome to visit the club or
contact a member ofthe
committee (see contact page)
