Opening times October & November
Another weekend of very high and very early tides. It appears that rigging in the dark and drizzle isn't so popular, but it is worth the effort just to say that you have launched and recovered your dingy from the sailing club car park! Just don't park your car next to your launching trolly... Well done Harry Spink for winning the Trafalgar trophy and John & Gilly Ellison for the More »

Autumn is definitely here
Autumn is definitely here and not many boats out this weekend probably due to a miserable forecast and not much water in the harbour on Saturday. We did get little more water under us and less falling on our heads on Sunday though. A total of four Hawks ventured out and John and Gilly Ellison again showed speed and determination to win on both days. With one more weekend left the More »

The idea of the mini regatta was to encourage racing in the traditionally quieter months. 9 hawks and 12 allcomers took part over the weekend with results (and prizes) broken out for hawks, dominant fleet, allcomers and junior Toppers. A force 2-3 kicked in and stayed for the weekend. The tides were huge giving the Race officers Matt and Karen Godbold plenty of challenges (including a dragging start line). 2 decent More »

Mini Summer, Mini Regatta
If you were in Brancaster this weekend, you couldn't fail to notice Shanty Fest! We had so much fun, with four stellar groups performing in the clubhouse on Saturday and Sunday. Our local group "Nelson's Shantymen" rounded off the weekend with a fantastic set list including their beautiful ballad Overy Strand. Meanwhile, out on the water, low tides More »
