Pat Lawless Sailing Supper & Revival of Cruising Group

Pat Lawless Sailing Supper & Revival of Cruising Group

Dear Fellow Members,

The club is blessed with quite a few members who derive as much pleasure from sailing their yacht from one port to another as they might do from purely racing them. There are a few who undertake quite extended cruising, quietly, without fanfare, relying purely on their own resources. 

There was in the past a “Cruising Group” within the club which, amongst other things, used to arrange National Yacht Club rallies. I remember these as a lot of fun. 

The Commodore has asked me to “test the waters” as it were, to see if there is sufficient interest within the club to revive this group, with the aim of sharing ideas, daring tales of cruises, and perhaps even arranging another NYC cruising rally.

Surfing the wave built under Nicole's coaching, the national YC is offering a series of 4 Saturday morning leading towards the DMYC Frosbites (starting November 5th).

There will be two dedicated groups:

The Developing sailing skills group will focus on growing confidence, progress the basics of sailing effectively on a dinghy (Balance, steering, trim) and grow a better understanding on how to use the controls effectively

The Get racing group will see a training programme aiming at growing racing ability specifically prepare the Frosbites. Sailing skills will certainly still be at the core of the sessions yet aiming at improving racing ability.

Dates are: Sept 23, Sept 30, Oct 21, Oct 28
