Vice Commodore’s Cup weekend 2025
On Saturday 14 June the Vice Commodore’s Cup for single handed boats was sailed in some very interesting weather. To say it rained is an understatement and the wind was very variable. Congratulations to Iain Millar in his Laser Radial for retaining the Laser cup. Unfortunately there were no Solos sailing so that cup was not awarded.
Sunday 15 June, in much more steady wind and without the heavy rain, saw double handed boats compete for the Vice Commodore’s cups for Mirrors and Enterprises. In total 3 Enterprises, 4 Mirrors, 1 RS Feva and 2 Laser 2000s were on the water. The wind was steady enough for the RS Feva and Laser 2000 to have a go at using their spinnakers. Charles Morrish with crew Dan Swaffield won the Enterprise Cup. Gerry Goodfellow with his son Lewis crewing for him won the Mirror Cup. Well done to Charles for retaining his trophy.
Below is a selection of photos from the weekend.

Opening Social 2025
This year our Opening Social was held on 20 April. Despite the earlier forecast the weather was wonderful – unless you were sailing and looking for some steady wind. Commodore Mike Lewis opened the proceedings with a short speech of welcome to everybody including our new members and he presented Lorry Young with his RYA Long Service Award. This was given to Lorry for all that he does for the club and all of us appreciate the help he gives to all of us.

“Doc” Ian Brown
It is with great sadness that we learned of the death of “Doc” Ian Brown, who passed away on 26th March 2025.
Doc was a great friend to the club and its members and loved his Mirror sailing.
He will be sorely missed.
Off the Water Walks
Our membership is an active bunch – and many of us enjoy other outdoor pursuits as well as watersports. A group of members go for a hike from time to time, exploring the scenery and sometimes the history around our area, and especially enjoying being in the company of like-minded people.
Here are some pictures of a wee expedition in the Pentlands on 19 February 2025, organised by Charles and Alison. We covered about 8 km (5 miles) in a little under 3 hours on this chilly, breezy February day.

AGM February 2025
AGM Report
Due to the Doddie Weir MND cycle event the start of the AGM was delayed by 10 minutes as both the Commodore and the Vice Commodore were stuck behind the event. As it was all in aid of such a wonderful charity, nobody was concerned and it gave those attending the AGM time to catch up with each other.
