ELYC is holding the BBQ at Yellowcraigs, Dirleton again this year following last years success. We have booked the BBQ area which is close to the beach and the carpark. Yellowcraigs is close enough to the club to walk, cycle, sail or drive.

All are welcome, so bring the whole family and friends. there will be activities for the younger members and cadets.

Please bring your own food and drink. the BBQ will be provided.

In the event of bad weather it will be held within the Yacht club. any change in venue would be notified on the website and by email.

 

The Yacht Regatta was held on Saturday 29th June over 4 races. Originally the plan was to also race on Sunday but due to the weather forecast, it was decided to hold 4 races on Saturday, rather than the the original 3 planned races. Unfortunately, only 3 boats took part, probably due to the date chosen, which was at the start of the school holidays. Two races were held on Saturday morning, and the 3rd race was started with the dinghy race sequence in the afternoon. The 4th race started after the 2nd dinghy start.

 

Jeremy Willing and John Elcock, sailing the Hawk 20, 'Sundance' achieved four 1st places to win the regatta. Alastair Skinner in the Red Fox 'Aquila' scored four 2nd places and Martin and Val Baillie in their Medina 'Westway' scored four 3rd places.
