Sell your Sailing Gear

Dear members, we are hosting a ‘sell your sailing gear’ event on Sunday the 26th September from 2pm to 3pm under the balcony at the National Yacht Club.  The idea is to come along with the sailing items you no longer use or you have grown out of with a price attached and sell it to other members.  There will be tables and some hanging rails to display your items. If you want to donate clothes etc to the RNLI there will be a clothes bucket for these items.   We are looking forward to seeing you all then.

Members End of Season Race

NYC Members’ End-of-Summer Charity Race, Thursday 9th September

We have a busy weekend coming up for the club hosting the ICRA National Championships this week from Friday to Sunday, with visiting boats arriving to our pontoon on Thursday. 

Preparations are underway with Race Officer Larry Power to hold our annual End-of-Summer Season Charity Race next week on Thursday 9th September. The start will at the DBSC Hut on the West Pier, and signals will commence at 18:00 to allow for the shorter evening. Further details will be posted later.

It will be a welcome return for this event after missing out last year due to the Covid-related late start to the 2020 racing season. That in turn lead to the DBSC midweek series running until September 10th, and then there was an abrupt end to racing the following week when Covid-restrictions were re-imposed by the government.

The fleet managed 8 races in total which gave sailors one discard.
