A Year in the Life of Jumbles SC

JUMBLES SAILING CLUB A Year in the Life of

Jumbles SC

The Sailing season started with the Easter egg race. Followed, just as we came out of lock down, by the club annual Lake District weekend away. Many boats and tents were packed up and towed up the M6 to Ullswater Sailing Club. We sailed to Glenridding on Saturday and raced back for the fiercely contested Lake District cup. A more leisurely day on Sunday saw some members trying paddle boarding for the first time!

A Pirate Day seemed to have more adult pirates out enjoying themselves than juniors. Perhaps juniors have not heard of pirates!

Training was run for new members over the summer in single handed dinghies as well as two powerboat courses.

Our Hansa Sailability boat has been well used this year by a gentleman who used to race GPs. It has been good to see him competing in the Sunday races.

Our Commodore and Sailing Secretary joined the crew on YNOT to deliver the boat back to Liverpool from Scotland, with a stopover on the Isle of Man read for an overnight sail back to Liverpool.

At Non-Bonfire night we were entertained by jugglers and Fire stick dancing; this is what members do when they’re not sailing!

After a busy fun packed sailing season, Jumbles finished 2021 with the Christmas Cracker Race and a Jacob’s supper. The day was completed with a visit from Father Christmas. A lovely surprise on the day was a return visit from once young Jumbles members with their own children.
