    We wish you good luck Dan -  you're a great ambassador for the club.

    The Autumn Season is now well underway, with sailing Monday to Thursday every week.

    If you have some spare time and would like to help out, volunteers are very welcome. No experience necessary as full training is given.

    We were asked a while ago if we would host an evening for the RYA Chief Executive, Sarah Treseder to come and visit us as she would be in the area for a couple of days.  We said yes, so on Tuesday evening Sarah came for an informal chat to some of our members.  We also had along for the evening Steve Gibbon, who is the Chairman for the RYA North East region and Sam Usher, the Regional Development Officer.  They learned all about what we do and how we do it!  Sarah then very kindly started the evenings racing and finished everyone over the line.

    Here's a link to some of the photos from the evening:- https://www.facebook.com/OtleySailingClub/posts/813587062104502

    Flood Repairs Working Party

     

     

     The club grounds sustained a lot of damage on the second flood, where the river level reached a record high and filled the lake up to the flag pole.

    There is a lot of damage to the pontoons and dinghy park and car park

    Work to do:

    ·         Road to repair - holes filling

    ·         Car park to re-surface complete

    ·         New Pico dinghy park to repair

    ·         gravel to retrieve from shore line - dredging

    ·         pontoons to repair

    ·         Water pump to refurbish

    A lot of work to do before the new season starts

    I plan to have Sunday as working days from next Sunday onwards until complete

    If anyone can join in and help please come down 9:30 - 4:0 ish.

    If you have not checked your dinghy and dinghy park area for damage then I do suggest you go down and check, as boats were found in fields and in trees (no kidding)

     

    Best regards

    Stella Murdoch, 86 has recently announced she is hanging up her lifejacket and retiring from sailing.  She has been a fiercely competitive racer over many years and has turned out in all weathers – at times beating her much younger counterparts.  She has regularly taken away various trophies at our annual prize giving event held in March each year. 

    Stella joined Otley Sailing Club in the late 1970’s and has served time on the committee as well as holding the office of Commodore between 2002-2004.

    She has been an inspiration to anyone who knew her at the club and put a lot of the younger members to shame!

    We would like to wish Stella all the very best and hope that we will still see her at our many social events throughout the year.  She will certainly be sorely missed on the start line.
