Optimist team attending the RYA regional champs
The club had six sailors attending the RYA event and we had a very credible 13th overall!
The Optimist team is currently sailing every Sunday and is in the process of organising our winter schedule. Email optimists@kgsc.org.uk for more information

RYA Stage one (beginner) course for Children
The club will be running two RYA stage one courses on the 1/2 and 8/9 of August. As part of the course, the club will provide each trainee with their own boat. The cost for the weekend is £100. Following the course, each trainee will be invited to attend the regular kids club (Sunday mornings) and kids holiday camp (19-21st of August and 1st to the 2nd of September)
*** Both RYA course are now full. We may run another course in September. Please register details at optimists@kgsc.org.uk

Club Response to Covid-19
The club reopened in May for “buddy” sailing and more recently we have started to organise on the water races. New members are welcome and formal training is hoping to start in July based on guidance from the RYA return to boating guidelines.
