Last newsletter we offered to give away an undefined trolley which I, wrongly, assumed was a canoe trolley. Peter Goad, the creator of the said trolley, kindly contacted me from New Zealand to explain that it is in fact an inflatable trolley. Et viola !
We are trying to keep the Club tidy and uncluttered (although the current state of the shed might argue against this) so the trolley now has a new home with a member.
One member looking for a small sailing dinghy to learn how to sail. One member looking for a dory type boat – 13 to 16 ft. And one member looking for a Shrimper 19ft or Cape Cutter 19ft or something similar.
The new Summer Season has arrived. Along with occasional flurries of snow and sleet! Many thanks to the Winter beach yachts who have all returned to their Summer moorings. Lovely to have you over the Winter. The beach is now empty and I have put out orange line to mark out the running lines….
The membership remains the same for 2025. Apologies again for last year’s poor management of memberships. I will be sorting out memberships for 2025 within the next two weeks. Members living in Cornwall will get a confirmation email from us and can then collect their 2025 cards from Melissa at the club. We will post…
With help from my lovely friend Tim Hunt (PNYC Member for Hammersmith), we have re-planked the first pontoon as you come into the Club and put on anti-slip strips. We will remove all the remaining chicken wire this week, re-place any broken boards and put down a combination of stainless steel mesh and anti-slip strips….
Member Robert Reid has a lovely Silhouette Mark 3 plus a tender for sale – £600. 17ft, fibre glass hull with a Lloyds Certificate. Good sails, new skeg and moored on the trots at PNYC just behind the big trimaran. Price includes a 2 metre fibreglass tender. Call Robert on 07815 324342. In addition, if the purchaser wishes to take over the mooring that can be arranged as well.
