RSYC REGATTA – SHORESIDE AND WATER ACTIVITIES
In August last year we held the RSYC Regatta at Gins Clubhouse. As well as a series of yacht races organised by Guy and Zoë Darby, won by Antidote, a host of activities on and off the water at Gins Clubhouse were enthusiastically enjoyed by everyone!
Led by the Flag Officers and our amazing Sailing Secretary, Lisa, members of all ages and their guests enjoyed tender, paddleboard, and kayak racing with James Maltby kindly providing safety boat cover.
Ashore there was a crabbing contest,
where the winners Greena and William Davis caught a staggering 51 crabs. Other activities included; Find the Pirate Treasure Hunt, Guess the Number of Sea Creatures, Giant Jenga, Swing Ball, Boules, Quoits and Knot Tying.
We had fantastic weather and delicious food prepared by Oishi Buns.The Regatta finished on Sunday with a Duck Race which raised £250 for the RSYC Trust.
Following the success of the Regatta we will be holding another on Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th June 2023, so put it in your diary now!
