Sailing from Sutton Dinghy Club has improved significantly
since 2007. The new boat park extension provides easy
access to over 100 boat spaces. This is a wonderful
resource, and it is marvellous to see new and restored
boats joining the Senior fleets.
Junior
level sailors are eager to attend club racing and improve
their skills. Our summer courses continue to thrive
under the ever enthusiastic stewardship of Hugh Gill.
The combination of fun, learning and activity, often
at a frenetic pace, is inspiring to see. I,
on behalf of the members, extend grateful thanks to
both the staff in the club and the 'beach parents' who
facilitate these wonderful courses each year.
We
look forward to the continued challenge of increasing
the number of active sailors on the water, providing
training in sailing, power boat handling and race management,
allowing us to enjoy our fantastic sailing environment
at Sutton Creek.
The
various committees are busy throughout the year ensuring
that we all enjoy our club whether afloat or ashore.
They deserve our thanks and on your behalf I do so gladly.
Between the sailing and social events there is something
for everyone to enjoy.
To
quote that great authority on all things boating:
"There
is nothing", said the Water Rat (in The Wind in the
Willows), "absolutely nothing, half so much worth doing
as simply messing about in boats. . . in boats - or
with boats . . . in or out of 'em, it doesn't matter!"
Enjoy!
Yours in sailing

O'Neill,
