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!
News
Non-Racers Sunday cruising
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.

Interactive Rules Quiz
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.
