Dave and Ginny Cunliffe take up the running for 2011

    Our thanks go to Dave and Ginny Cunliffe who  have taken on the co-ordination role for Junior Sailing at RDYC.    

    Roger Richards is the new RYA Principal and he is to spearhead RYA training across all age groups at RDYC. 

    Kit Noble is the Senior Instructor for 2011 and Chloe will handle the administrative paperwork in the RDYC office.  Our thanks goo to them and all those who help out regularly or on an ad hoc basis.   

 

Seeing 50 children on the water each week in a well run activity gives a huge sense of satisfaction which far outweighs the effort involved in running it. 

 

If you would like to help, please contact office@royaldart.co.uk.

Clewless Capers

 

For those of you who are new to the Royal Dart Yacht Club, Clewless is our Junior Sailing Mascot (see picture). 

 

She is one of the Splice Gang and her closest friends are called Headless and Tackless.   

 

By keeping up-to-date with the Splice Gang, we learn what NOT to do on a boat! 

 

Last summer we met Spinny who is always in a flap (not a good way to be on a boat), and Lee Shore who is best avoided.  We also came across the Boom Brothers Vang and Kicker who take the wind right out of your sails.  

 

Nobody knows who will turn up next.  Keep your eyes open and use the Contact Us page to write in if you see Clewless or any of her friends.
