"Crew shall nominate which mainsail size they will use before the regatta starts – small or standard.  Crew may change their mainsail size for any one or more days during the regatta. They shall prior notify the Race Committee or Shore Team before changing not later than one hour before the first warning signal for the race affected by the change of rig. For races that a sailor uses a different size sail to that originally nominated, their point score will be increased by 10% of the fleet size, to a maximum of the fleet size+1. Grand Master and Legend sailors are exempt from the penalty and are not required to provide notification for a change of sail size. Failure of other sailors to notify the Race Committee or Shore Team may result in a DSQ from one or more races."

As many of you will have noticed, our clubhouse roof is leaking, with tubs in the café and buckets in the attic, it’s clear that it now needs to be replaced to protect our much-loved clubhouse for the future.

The good news is that work is underway. Planning permission has been granted, and the project is expected to cost around £50,000. We’ve already secured a £5,000 grant from the North Berwick Trust, are applying for more funding, and will carefully use club reserves while keeping the club financially secure.

Fundraising will play an important part, and we’re keen to make this a fun and engaging process for everyone. Our target for this year, 2026, is £5,000. There are lots of ways to get involved

  • Buy a ticket for the 100 Club (tickets available September)
  • Simply donate, using this link, or at the bar.
  • Attend fund raising events. 

If you’re interested in helping with grant applications, have ideas for fundraising, or would simply like to know more, we’d love to hear from you!
