Rutland Sailing Club brought out the
‘big guns’ to provide a superb team of race officials and umpires, led by chief
umpire Steve Tylecote, for the BSDRA regional team racing championships on
Saturday 18th May.
14 teams sailed 54 races with Oakham, Ipswich, Rutland Youth and Royal Hospital School reaching the semi-finals where the club youth team were knocked out by the eventual winners (also club members) Oakham School. Rutland SC clearly has both excellent youth team racers and experienced adult supporters in strength – what a great club for team racing!
We are 3 years old!Can you believe it?In that time
we have learnt so much about sailing, about each other and about
ourselves.At least, we thought we had,
but today we saw a very different side to many of our LWLers.This was because our birthday theme was
pirates and everyone had made an amazing effort to dress up, not only
themselves, but their boats too, and this dressing up seemed to bring out the
very naughty side of our, usually, mild mannered members.Water pistols were loaded, balls given to the
single handers and it was game on, a game named pirates, funnily enough!

A week of family fun both on and off the water
Rutland Holiday week is aimed at everyone. It is a member run week the more you do the more fun you will have.
We camp in the field, eat in the club and do a lot of sailing, racing, playing and socialising. There are lots of activities for the novice sailor; the junior racers and the more competitive sailor...
