Old inner pontoon is out and the floats off, believe this amazing team of workers is aiming for a Friday launch, that will see all the club pontoons in place and ready for use!
Captain Marine Cryptic Navigation Trial, the Trial is the Clubs next on water event, set down for Saturday 6th April commencing at 12:30 and winding up with a sausage sizzle at the club rooms.
Launching of the completed outer pontoon has been put back to the better tide of Tuesday 2nd April, works on that day will be launching of the outer pontoon and lift out of the old inner pontoon.
The final day was an opportunity for the young sailors to refocus on overall safety and weather awareness as well as consolidating their on-water skills acquired during the season. Everyone has made great progress during the season and learnt to overcome the various challenges the sport of sailing can present.
The 2018-19 Club Championships for dinghies and the Harken Club Pennant wound up in near perfect conditions with sixteen boats on the water enjoying the final points racing day.
This popular event is now one of the most enjoyable and hotly contested on the River, so don’t miss this seasons two handed sailing on the Tamar River.
After an early start Saturday, to catch the tide, the old middle pontoon was pulled out, and the new launched. The new frames for the new outer and inner pontoons are also at the Club ready for decking, fendering and floats, as we cycle out of the old pontoons.
