August Working Party - 10 members pulled up trees on the headland, cleared 'ankle breaker' stones from the dried area of the reservoir bed, burnt weeds between the paving at the clubhouse and fixed a downspout. A barbecue rewarded the hard work before many took to the water by mid-afternoon in F4-5 wind. Thanks!
Recreational Sailing 9th August - a popular Friday afternoon sail - see some photos.
Olympics - Britain's Emma Wilson dominated the heats of the iQ Foil races from Marseille, so went into the medal race without needing to compete in the quarter and semi-finals. A mistake at just one mark cost her though - bronze medal instead of gold. While in the men's, Sam Sills made it as far as the semi-finals. Coverage on iPlayer: BBC1 morning, Day 8 4hr 13 mins (Sam) & 4hr 40 mins (Emma). Find out more.

Anglesey 21st June weekend - good but not easy windsurfing in F5 and big swell at Rhosneigr Friday, then easier F4 Saturday, while others stayed at Newborough for a good high tide session there on Saturday. Some of our wingfoilers were at Rhosneigr too.

May Back to the Water weekend - 7 members camped Sat and Sunday, while some also stayed on late for a BBQ, drinks, table football & watching foiling on YouTube on Sat night. On the water there was a healthy mix of windsurfing, wingfoiling & paddleboarding in mostly light winds for Saturday. With less wind Sunday, attention shifted to canoeing & kayaking. Not the windiest weekend, but a successful and very sociable event anyway!
