Hi All ,
The First Mates Race takes place this Saturday 1st Sept .
Start time will be 10am with prize giving in the Club house after.
Could anyone intending to participate in the race let me know so we can get an idea of numbers and age profiles.
Lets try and get as many Young sailors on water as possible.
Regards Kieran
