WSC 1951
Recently found in a charity book shop! Walter Radcliffe was still active in the club and later Commodore (53-55). Anyone know why it states the club was Est. 1921?  |
Dinghy Training
As requested we are looking into organising some dinghy training at Alton Water. The course(s) would run for two days (probably over a weekend or could be on two Saturdays). Each course would be available for 3 or 6 people depending on interest. At least one course would be very much geared to beginners, with perhaps a second course for anyone interested in improving their boat handling (level 2.) We have negotiated a discount on Alton's current pricing (they have agreed to run the training at 2017 prices at around £200). The additional benefit of this arrangement is that you will be training with other people from Wivenhoe Sailing Club so you will have shared experiences with other club members. Please contact us via WhatsApp or email to thetreasurerwsc@gmail.com to register your interest together with availability for weekends in June and July and at what approx RYA level you want training.

Sailing for disabled sailors
The Royal Harwich Yacht Club has asked that we publicise their “Woolverstone Project” based on the RYA “Sailability” programme. Sailing takes place at Alton Water all year and at the club site at Woolverstone on the Orwell during summer months. |
RYA Safe Trx
A FREE app developed by the RYA for smartphone (Android & Iphone) on which you can plan trips, log journeys, and trigger alerts. Users can enter your journey details and set off knowing that should you not return by the time given, a nominated emergency contact will be alerted and advised to initiate appropriate action. When an emergency contact calls HM Coastguard about an overdue trip, they will have access to your location and SafeTrx Trip data through a secure SafeTrx server. Since the RYA SafeTrx App periodically sends your location data back to our servers, the Coastguard's response team can get help directly to you, and quickly. RYA SafeTrx is an accessible tool that leisure craft users can use when going to sea. It does not replace GMDSS, EPIRB, PLB or AIS. It is especially useful for those who use smaller boats such as dinghies, smaller yachts, RIBs and open powerboats or who do not use tracking and alerting devices on their boats. Click here for additional information and to download. Users need to register with the RYA, but do not need to be an RYA member. I haven't used it yet, but looks very useful especially for single handed coastal small boat sailors.... Eric Strudwick. |
