February's Quiz NightThu 9 February February's Quiz will be held on Thursday 9th February, 1930 hours. Teams of up to 4 players. Cash prizes to be won. Cooler Series 2012
Click here for Cooler results. COOLER 1 The first Cooler Race got off to a excellent start with nineteen boats competing, in light winds on the Southwick canal which made for very tricky tactical racing. The start line was positioned at the far end of the green, giving a tight line and a beat to the first mark, it was critical to get a good start an then pull into clear air, avoiding the wind shadow of the other boats, having done this maintaining a good position with varying light wind, was essential once the windward mark was rounded.
Club NightFri 2 March As always Club Night is about getting together with our friends to chat, make the most of Ho's hospitality and to cheer as the famous (infamous?) raffle gets under way.
