Bad news again I am afraid . Due to the weather currently and what’s forecast, sailing has been cancelled this evening. Hopefully see you all next week (when sumner returns)

Just had a call from Sam @ Mountbatten to say sailing is off tonight due to high winds. It’s currently 18 knots gusting, in excess of this, with a forecast of increasing. Sorry to break the bad news and see you all next week ⛵️

Hi all. If you have time, please can you complete this survey? It is from the fund who gave us a grant this year and they require feedback from us so they can feedback to their donors.

Hi all, we looked at the forecast and there is a rain front forecast for later this afternoon . Due to it being our first session we want it to be enjoyable so regretfully the decision has been taken to cancel this evenings session . So sorry but the British weather has beaten us this week

Please can everyone call Mountbatten before setting off tomorrow please or keep an eye on our social media :)

Due to the cost of living increases, Drake Sailing Club regrets to inform you that we have had to increase prices this year, something that we have not done for many years.

Therefore the new prices will go as follows:

A membership will now be £40 per year

And the payment per week will be £6 per session

For new members, we will still provide a free taster session

There is also an option to buy an organisational membership for £40 which will cover any individuals within that organisation per membership plus the weekly payment.

If you have any questions or queries, please don’t hesitate to ask!

D.S. :)

“A couple of memories of this evenings training session.”

The dates have been provisionally set for this year. We are looking forward to seeing all helms and volunteers on the 3rd and 10th and members on the 17th :)
