Spinnaker Change at SYC!
Spinnakers Restaurant at The Sussex Yacht Club is now being run by 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, presented 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.
Sonar RescueJust had a press release in from the George Chastney of the Cowes RNLI Lifeboat. Looks like our youth team have hard some hard luck racing today (Wednesday 4 Aug 2010).
SYC on Facebook and Flickr
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. Spinnakers Wanted
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.

There is also a simple poll asking whether skippers would like to start at first light next year to try and get as many boats as possible over the finishing line before the breeze drops on the French coast. Oh and the date for the next Royal Escape is Friday 27 May 2011.... Keelboat Results
