Greetings all — following the success of the October 2025 event, West Wilts Youth Sailing Association (WWYSA) RC Section will be holding another open day for J Class boats, other large boats and any other boats you want to bring along! There will also be static boat displays. You are quite welcome even if you do not have a boat.

The day's free sailing will start at 10:00, with a finish around 16:00, but the day will be very flexible. The club will be open from 09:30 and briefing starts at 10:00 for sailors. Tea and coffee available in the club house free of charge.

As per last year, Julie will be doing a BBQ lunch around 13:00 at £8 per head — burgers, sausages, salads etc.

After lunch, assuming the weather/wind is conducive, free sailing will continue along with a number of informal class races in the separate area of the lake off the point. We may have some silverware…well, brass actually, up for grabs.

There is NO need to pre-book and there is NO cost to attend. Just turn up, bring your boats/yachts, check in with your MYA number for insurance purposes and have fun!

Alan Horne (https://www.jclasshulls.co.uk) will be there with his selection of hulls/kits etc., along with possible other trade stands, TBA.
