UPDATE, the police have asked that the clubhouse not be touched at all until the CSI have been tomorrow. Just to let everyone know, we had vandals at the club this afternoon. Around 4pm we had 4 people on 2 motorcycles enter the club compound from the far end. They have broken many of the windows and extensively damaged the kitchen and lounge areas. Sailing will still take place tomorrow, as we will not be defeated…However there is a mountain of glass that needs sweeping up if you would like to help. We are still awaiting a police visit so the clubhouse may still be a crime scene tomorrow and therefore not in use… a flask and a sandwich is advisable. Martin. ... See MoreSee Less

An excellent write up of today’s events at the club by Stuart Burnett, thanks Stu. What A Fab Day ! It was so good to see the club buzzing today and more so an healthy 16 craft out in the Earlybird with a good variation of both boats and age groups Seb Parkhurst -Tuby was our youngest solo sailor getting to grips with Topper and along with Luke Dickinson were slightly late off the start , but what does it matter as long as everyone is enjoying this perfect , dare i say Summers day . The wind pretty much held steady for the day with a slight increase into the afternoon enabling most to lift onto the plain from 4 buoy down to the clubhouse on bouy 2 and holding a strong beat from the start up at 3 down to 5 on the figure of eight course set by our chief Race Officer Tim Bell and assistant Stu .Ollie and Ian Parkhurst took a commanding lead of both the EarlyBird and the first of the afternoons handicap races , with the Supa Nova of Steve Blair holding second place before Steve Hanby after a poor start pulled past in the RS300 to leave the field , leading Steve over 2 minutes on the finish . The Wayfairer of the Nicklin Family loaded up with the two girls and mum and dad certainly goes well and questions are being asked if there is an engine fitted as the big tub has been upfront in all three races , which is obviously down to the credibility of its Helm and crew . There were a few surprises on the water today and not being disrespectful to anyone , it was good to see Tim Hazeltine out in his recently purchased blue Streaker having a first impressive sail and Roy Jefford giving fellow Supanova sailor Angus , a good close race and although young Archie was slightly underpowered in 4.7 rigged Laser certainly held his own against the big boys . Alan Windust surprised us all by coming out and has certainly not lost his touch in the Laser , having two credible races , before retiring in the final afternoons race along with fellow laser sailor John Manning and the two Streakers of Tim Hazeltine and Steve Hanby all encountering some unexpected problems . Frank seems to have his mojo back and was giving Martin Penty a bit of a fight after an excellent days racing, before Penty Power kicked in to pull his Streaker clear in the second race .Thomas Penty the Aero specialist had mixed results and encountered a bit of a dip in the Earlybird but came back strong in the last race to give Martin a bit of a tussle gaining the lead ,,only for it to be relinguished by Martin into the last lap , with both boys miles ahead and notching up an extra lap on everyone else .The Streakers , the club's largest fleet was a little down today and can't really understand why with the spectacular weather on offer and withTim and Stu our regulars in control of the days event it was lucky Gemma Francis-Burnett and Tim Hazeltine made a first time show to give Bob Towler and Brian Kelly a bit of competion, although Bob did get that sinking feeling in the EaryBird after leaving his drain plugs open and nearly coming to the same fate as the Titanic .Alan Hansed along with John Manning , Alan Windust ,Tim Winter , Frank , Archie and Luke gave the Laser Fleet the biggest presence on the waters today and I'm sure our two Mirrors of Malc and Richard wouldn't say no to a little more competition after the dwindling numbers of the Mirrors over the past five years . More to follow in the morning ... See MoreSee Less

Covid-19 Guidance

On the 29th March the Governement will allow outdoor sports facilities to re open, this includes sailing clubs.
As many of you are aware in December 2020 there was a serious breech in the canal bank, which resulted in very low water levels until recently. Although levels have not returned to normal, there is sufficient depth for recreational sailing and winsurfing. As a result of this the committee are pleased to announce that Beaver Sailing Club will open for sailing, windsurfing and boating activity.

++++ Membership Notice ++++

1st March marks the new membership year for the Club and members have been emailed/mailed details with an application form for completion and signing. You can renew your membership a number of ways. 1. Post the signed completed membership renewal with a cheque to Honorary Treasurer, Cherie Marais, at the address indicated on the membership […]
