Marblehead Sunday – 30th !!

Had a fun day at the Club! We would have had seven Marbleheads on the line but our Sailing Sec succumbed to the local lurgy on Saturday, so we were six.

Breezes were honestly all over the place but out sure made it interesting. Craig set some figure of eight type courses which were very serviceable. We also had rig repairs, and two boats sailed off to Windsor with no winch pier (various reasons) – thankfully rescued by the club RIB.

Craig had a shot at sailing Jim’s seriously beautiful F6 Marblehead – it goes really quickly with Craig on the helm – ha ha ha !!!

Lunch was pretty sociable at the Clubhouse too!

Proteus Pop-Up !! …. Put September 20th in your Calendar !!

Proteus is developing a strong following – both in UK and Globally!!

  • Want to race against other Proteus skippers boat-for-boat?
  • Want to get your hands on a Proteus or simply want to try one on the water?
  • Want to compare notes and ideas with other Proteus owners?
  • Maybe you’ve already built a Proteus and would like to hear Craig talking the Proteus evolution and how to set the rig, tune one up?
  • Fancy getting your hands on latest Fibreglass Proteus from K7 and even giving one a trial sail??
  • Want to see the latest fittings, sails and gear that Craig favours for his own boat? Datchet Radio Sailing, UK Home of the Proteus, is pleased to announce a Proteus Pop Up Open Day on Sunday September 20th.

We hope to be able to offer all of the above on the 20th September at Datchet Radio Sailing.  There should honestly be a mass of kit to to see and try for yourself – with direct access to Craig and the specialist team.

By necessity, we need to control numbers and access to the Club.  If you are interested in coming along to join the day, please reserve a place by emailing drscommodore at outlook.com
