Yacht Racing Section

The Yachting racing section of EMBC sail on Sunday mornings on the small lake when no other events are scheduled i.e. Steerage class  and scale model regattas.

There is dedicated Fiesta racing on the first Sunday morning of each month in the warmer months.

We also race on Tuesdays and Thursdays when we can use the big lake (yachts only) between 10 am and 3pm. This was confirmed at the Water Users meeting in 2017.

The midweek racing has attracted over 10 regular skippers and there is good interest form the sailing club to which EMBC are affiliated and whose facilities we share.  Racing is of a good standard and Model Yacht Racing rules are applied, however we are a friendly group and any disputes about rights of way etc are soon agreed amicably over tea and biscuits in the clubhouse.

Racing is very keen and regularly we have all boats finishing within 1 minute

The first races in the 2018 midweek series are shown,

In 2018 we are hoping to keep a record of the sailing results and we will look to agreeing a programme shortly.

New year 2018.

Happy New Year to all our members and Readers.

You have seen Geoff's e-mail haven't you and sent in your renewal fees?, slightly up this year but the first time since I joined the club in 2006, which is very good in this day and age!. 

David Lee sent me these pictures of his latest project a stream engine he has built himself!, clever chap.

This is a photo of my new boiler, with engine getting it ready for new open steam launch.

More to the point he has sent it in to be published, with the number of members we have in the club I'd have hoped for a better response and had a few more to show you!.

All it requires is an e-mail with a picture and a few words of text and I will gladly publish it here.
Add it to your New Year resolutions to send in at least one contribution this year?.

Perhaps there isn't that much interest in the website any more, or is it that there are more readers than contributors out there.

The club web is only as good as its content and I'm sure people don't want it to be only my thoughts.

If there is anyone interested in taking over this site and has new idea's be my guest I will happily show them the ropes in getting started.

Have you looked in the 'For Sale' section lately, you might see something you fancy with your Christmas Money!.

Duckie.
