Rowing Update
Finally!! With a change in the weather, the rowing section has managed to enjoy some calm but chilly rows.
The Tuesday morning row, that launches at 08.00, has provided us with some spectacular sunrises and now that the days are beginning to draw out we have been treated to beautiful sunsets on calm seas.
On Saturday 18th January however, in-spite of the calm seas, the rowers were anything but calm as they competed in the 3rd race of the winter series. The club house was buzzing as Martino delivered his cox briefing and once the race started it became evident that all 7 boats were pretty evenly matched. Navigator was first over the line and there was a close tussle for second and third place.
Hillhead competed in their first race and we were also joined by Seafarers Rowing club.
The 2nd race ( rescheduled after it was cancelled) is scheduled for the 1st February with a later start time of 13.00. Come and join us if you fancy getting involved.

Winter Maintenance of Bruce
Bruce the committee boat is in the compound and needs some maintenance before being relaunched. You can claim duty hours for this work if you still need to do some before renewals. The following jobs need doing:
- Move the mooring anti chafe & thimble
- Replace broken flag holders
- Paint anti-slip on deck
- Paint anti-foul on the bottom of the hull
- Paint “Bruce” on the ladder
Contact Mark Swallow for more details. training

Renewals
Hi All. As you may be aware, we are moving to a new management system and 2025 renewals will be done through this. More info will be made available shortly. The current WebCollect system may appear to let you renew now, but please don’t do this as it will complicate the transfer to Sailing Club Manager.
Thank you for your cooperation.
