Sailing Facilities Upgrade
PSC's new pontoon walkway and crane are now installed and fully operational! This is a huge step forward for PSC and will permit much easier access to the water. The walkway negates the requirement to scale a slippery vertical ladder to get to and from the pontoon and the crane will allow the launch and recovery of boats without the requirement to use the slip way. The crane will provide

French Rally
The May Bank Holiday Weekend saw seven PSC yachts make their way to Cherbourg for our second rally of the season. Rally Master Peter Guy had clearly managed to put his school boy French language skills to good effect with the harbourmaster's team and we were provided with excellent berths a short walk from the Capitainerie du Port's office and, more importantly, very close to the bar and restaurant! The highlight of the

Day Boat Wednesday Evening Series
It had been intended to start Day Boat Evening racing on Wednesday 2 May, however it has been decided to postpone the start of the series due to the delay in the installation of the crane in the Camber. Although the crane is not essential for Day Boat sailing, it's lack of availability makes launching the increased numbers of Day Boats in the Boom Yard extremely difficult, particularly for weekday evening racing. Updated dates for

Spring Parhelion Series Day 2
Another demanding day for both the race team and competitors with a breeze fluctuating between 6 and 18 kts and veering from the SE round to the S during the races. The first race became fairly lengthy for some of the smaller members of the fleet (Minx !) who had to contend with a dying breeze but race two was sailed in a fresher conditions and all fleets finished within less than

Spring Parhelion Series Day 1
Day 1 of the Spring Parhelion Series saw 15 boats ready to race but with a mid-morning low water and light Easterly breezes it proved a testing day for both the Race Officer and competitors with long downwind legs and even a downwind start for Race 1! Two races were completed and results across all fleets were interesting and varied but Red Arrow (sporting their new 100th birthday 'kite') and Maggie May both appear to
