The external car park has now been resurfaced and the boundaries tidied. Puddles and potholes are a thing of the past. The Club thanks members for their patience over the past few days, and especially Junior parents and Sunday's racers for parking prettily whilst taking care not to damage the exposed road edge,

Thanks to all those who turned up today for the Day Sailors' work party.

Many good jobs were done, including refurbishing wooden benches and clearing the foreshore and slipways of winter debris.

At SYC we have approximately 400 end-of-life tyres supporting our watercraft in one way or another. The advantage has been that they are normally free to anyone who wants them. The problem is disposing of the tyres after this usage. It is a costly process, especially for perished tyres, as their composite materials do not easily lend themselves to shredding or chipping. 400 tyres will weigh about 3200 kg and that does not include the stagnant rainwater contained in their hollow interiors.

We are legally required to keep a record of all visitors to the SYC site. (See also Starcross YC COVID-19 Secure Policy.)

The work party today cleared a large amount of debris, and parked trolleys and trailers in a more orderly manner to free up parking spaces.

There is now plenty of room to park at a slight angle to the fence line - like this:

Please think of others and do not park parallel to the fence. Thank you.

SYC always welcomes new members and you don’t necessarily need to already have - or even buy - your own boat.

For more experienced sailors, the club maintains a small, varied fleet of dinghies that can be hired by members at very reasonable rates.
