rya-logoWith the main clubhouse, extensive boatyard with new lift and moorings on the river adur, along with the original clubhouse and locked moorings within Shoreham Port, SYC is first and foremost a members club with unrivalled facilities. Yachts of all sizes call the club home, with both rallying and racing strongly supported, as is the dinghy section where particular attention is given to encouraging youth sailors. The club has a thriving diving section and is home to Sussex Sailability, supporting handicapped sailors of all abilities. SYC also boasts a bar and steward famous for hospitality on both sides of the channel, along with a recently relaunched restaurant enjoying the best river views in Shoreham.
 

Spinnaker Change at SYC!

woodyLaunching at the next Club Night on Friday 6th August Spinnakers Restaurant at The Sussex Yacht Club is changing with a new caterer taking over. Peter Woods of "Woodys" who is well know for his range of award winning pickles and sauces, some of the best breakfasts in Shoreham along with hog roasts for those special occasions, will be presenting all new menus to club members and guests. 

Peter has had many years experience in the food service industry and he brings with him a team of experienced staff, some of whom are already known to members.

SYC on Facebook and Flickr

Flyover-Devil-DSC_9273

There are some new places where we can post pictures and comment...

We recently opened up a Facebook page for the Keelboats where pictures and comments can be posted by Facebook members and this can be found by clicking here >>

We have also dusted off the old Flikr group for pictures of the yachts that's been around since 2007 and loaded the latest pics to browse through. All you need to be able to load pictures onto Flickr is a Yahoo account so if you are out and about with a camera afloat then perhaps this is where you can play. Flickr group is here >>

Steve Thomas took all the pics of the Summer Series racing from the weekend 26-27 June so if he snapped your boat  then say thanks to him and Tracey who also organised the weekend's racing.

 

The latest on Guy Meadows boat

For the past few weeks there has been a request for information on the dinghy Guy Meadows used to race at SYC. The enquiry originated in an email from Bill Norrie in the USA. Well we've had some luck with this and the following string of emails tell the tale so far.... 

 

Club Night

Office Decoration

PainterFollowing the rather unpleasant leak into the SYC office a couple of months ago we are going to spruce the place up. Fresh paint, cleaned carpets and a general spring clean will be going on next week (2-6 August) which result in some disruption. We'll do everything we can to maintain our normal service but ask members to be patient whilst the paint brushes are out.

Do you have a spinnaker that you no longer require?

My students would put it to good use and make it into something new.

Any size, colour or condition will do.
