We are sailing, well almost...

Thanks - we are aware - we think the elite runners will be through between 9 -9.15 so the RYA plan to have boats on the beach well before then. Kids willl just have to dodge the runners as they come through.

You'll be safe enough then.
The race starts at 9.00. I doubt if any elite runner could make it to you and the 6 mile mark by 9.15 even if they were on the back of the lead police motorbike


(Be warned though that when the bulk of the 14,000+ come through it is nigh on impossible to cross - there are just no gaps.)

And for anyone who is interested.....

Adults' Sailing Course - RYA Level 1

We have had a number of enquiries as to when / if we will be running Adult Sailing Cousres.

The answer is Mid September - if there is sufficient demand!

Adults Level 1 courses take 2 days and cost £199 per head for Founder Members. Non members pay £225.

This is a more in-depth course than the RYA Stage 1 course for children.

There are 8 places available per weekend course.

If you are interested please reply - we won't have a date until we have made a booking which we won't do until we have sufficient demand, so please if you think you would like a place were we to run a course, please let me know.

Many thanks

Kind regards
