    Sailing in the Baltic

    After seven years in the Baltic, Dick & Jane Beddoe will go through the ups and downs of Baltic sailing focusing on the summer of 2024.

    This includes the trip from Fehmarn, Germany to Danish Middlefart (yes, you read it right...), onwards to Copenhagen, Swedish Karlskrona, Kalmar, and finally to Vastavik on the east Swedish coast.

    Catch the Tide

    8:00pm @ ACC

    Come to the "Catch The Tide evening" - the all important showcase for sailing and social events over the year

    This is a great opportunity for members to hear about the club's planned activities for the year ahead and sign up as organisers, skippers or crew for events.

    It is hoped that members will sign up early for events enabling berths to be booked in good time.
    It's a great way of having more fun on the water with fellow members.
