Top Result for Merryn at Welsh WASZP Nationals!
We love hearing from members who have taken part in events outside of CCSC.

Silver Girl started out on the Thursday night to take a good tide to Swanage for an overnight stay on the SC swinging mooring. £15.00.

Boats, Bands and Bromptons.... Cherbourgers 2024
We sailed all the way to Cherbourg apart from engine assistance for the last part. In France we enjoyed a mass bike ride - all 4 Bromptons plus several hired electric bikes. Later that evening there was the Cherbourg Solstice music festival throughout the town. On return there was little or no wind back to Weymouth although we were helped by the genoa in the last quarter. See the full report HERE
