A message from our Sailing Manager

To all powerboat coxes, following the recent incident in Padstow and the amount of damage currently impacting the club boats we are running additional sessions of the one-minute rescue to remind us all of our duties and responsibilities in running the rescue boats at the club. In the last 6 months, we have had significant damage to engines, boats dropped off their trailers and general repairs running into hundreds of pounds. See link below re Padstow for those of you that have been on a desert island for the last week and missed the news.
