NEW!<\/strong> Wednesday Afternoons: Racing (Ancient Mariners)<\/h2>\n

Target members:<\/strong> Adults<\/p>\n

From 5 July, if you’re an adult member lucky enough to be available on Wednesday afternoons, our Ancient Mariners racing session<\/a> might just be the one for you.<\/p>\n

Open to adults only, this season starts at 14:00 (subject to confirmation via WhatsApp at 10:00) and is currently scheduled to run every week until the end of August.<\/p>\n

Wednesday Evenings: Go Sailing<\/h2>\n

Target members:<\/strong> Everyone<\/p>\n

Whether you’re a racer refining your 5 essentials, a new member building up your\u00a0confidence or a family member wanting to take your\u00a0partner or children on a\u00a0gentle potter around the lake on a sunny Summer evening, then CSC’s unstructured Wednesday evening\u00a0Go Sailing sessions are the one for you, offering the perfect environment for practice and leisure sailing.<\/p>\n

Wednesday evening sessions run every week\u00a0from 18:00 to dusk\u00a0until the end of August.<\/p>\n

Friday Evenings: Go Sailing<\/h2>\n

Target members:<\/strong>\u00a0Novice\u00a0& family members<\/p>\n

Friday evening’s give members the opportunity to benefit from the experience of instructors Andrew and Janice during a\u00a0friendly,\u00a0informal training session.<\/p>\n

Due to its popularity, you may need to book in advance for this session, so\u00a0keep an eye on the WhatsApp group for start times and individual session details.<\/p>\n

Sunday Morning: Racing (Sunday League)<\/h2>\n

Target members:<\/strong> Adults<\/p>\n

Between 10:00 and\u00a014:00 on Sunday mornings, South Norwood Lake plays host to our 52-week-a-year race sessions. We aim to have the A series (morning) race underway at 10:15 and the B series (afternoon) race at around 12:00.<\/p>\n

Any\u00a0members with at least RYA level 1 or equivalent experience are welcome, all that we ask is that you join in the race to the best of your ability.<\/p>\n

New members often tell us they’re worried about getting in the way, but there really isn’t anything to worry about. Our racers are a friendly bunch\u00a0and even those who now regularly finish\u00a0near\u00a0the top of the table started out getting stuck on\u00a0buoys, caught in headers and\u00a0inexplicably going backwards.<\/p>\n

Participation of under 18s (other than as crew) is at the discretion of the duty officer (DO).<\/p>\n

Sunday Afternoons: Go Sailing<\/h2>\n

Target members:<\/strong>\u00a0Novice\u00a0& family members<\/p>\n

Sunday afternoon sessions are a mix of unstructured and informal training sessions that take place once or twice each month throughout the Summer, from around 14:00.<\/p>\n

As these sessions are not available every week, keep an eye on the CSC website and Go Sailing WhatsApp group for dates and other details.<\/p>\n
