Some Members Get Afloat!
Club members, Jim and Trish Hughes are back at sea in their yacht Scarlet! (see pictures - credit Mike Wyman) They are currently based in Lagos, on the Algarve.

Things to keep you occupied while 'Locked Down'!
We may not be able get out on the water or into the club for a drink but there are other ways that we can interact with each other and enjoy 'sailing'...... Virtual Racing . Around 20 members have been meeting 'virtually' every evening and competing in a series of short 'computer-generated' races. The simulation is excellent and competitors can find themselves competing at a variety of global venues
