BLACK DOG DOES IT AGAIN FOR PNYC !

Black Dog has won the RORC IRC National Championships – again.  So that’s two national wins for this PNYC registered boat – 2019 and 2021.  The team has been racing for 11 years and this year Stuart Sawyer’s team was joined by double Olympic Silver Medallist, Nick Rogers.  

“We are delighted” said Stuart. “We are surprised to win as we haven’t been racing much but we have been training and our crew work is slick…. we were confident with ourselves but we didn’t know how we would measure up against the top IRC boats.”

Well, they beat them!  Congratulations to all the team members and The Club would like to stand them some beers.

When you want to get your boat onto its place on…

    WINTER MOORINGS

    ByJeff Meadows

    A collective thanks to everyone for a pretty smooth transition from Summer to Winter.  And congrats to Andy Bennett for his beautiful beach mooring set-up…a hand made cradle… …and the commitment to dive around the boat to check everything was good. He is available for hire I believe!

    We have one beach mooring, one swing mooring and 6 trot moorings available.  But all the pontoon spaces have now been taken. The trot and swing moorings have been serviced by Seawide Services. The lure of a drink after work proved too much so the crew parked up on the landing pontoon and they all adjourned to…
