Women On Water Event
Guys considering it looks like Saturday will be a washout and gusty, we think it’s better to reschedule the women on water event to this Sunday at 3.30pm.
This will run concurrently with the Helmsman 6 race as the winners of both fleets have already been decided at this point in the series.
There will be a prize giving in the clubhouse after the event and there’s a newly sponsored award for this years annual prizegiving.
Numbers are looking good atm, hope to see as many on the water as possible ⛵️
Anyone interested in taking part or crewing get in touch with myself of Shauna.
