Sorry for late update but just been past the Broad – Saturday 4th – 5pm.
Broad is covered in ICE – slushy but covering whole broad. If we get a breeze overnight it might shift but I doubt there will be any sailing tomorrow – this message might save someone a long trip.
Cheers, Ian
The weed has gone!
Rollesby Broad is now virtually weed free, time to join in our winter sailing series – Winter membership runs from now until the end of March and racing is high quality and close!
Just a reminder – the last week of open sailing ends on 1st November! If you are cruising during the winter please try to follow the race course when racing is in progress as it allows both competitors and rescue crew to keep an eye on you – it will improve your boat handling too! Alternatively cruise away from the course area or during the breaks.
If you’d like to choose your winter duty date please sign up on the clubhouse notice board by 5th September.
Alternatively email me (with more than one alternative) – sailing@rbsc.org.uk by the same date.
Many thanks – Ian

A link to an interactive Sailing Rules Quiz has been under the Rules section of the website.
I am sure some of you will have seen this before but its worth a look, you can rewind, pause and slowdown the incidents (unlike the real thing) and each decision is explained with references to the rule.

On a day when the weatherman promised light winds 21 Solos raced in the RBSC Open Meeting. They competed in good spirits as the wind and the weed favoured the boats.
