Club opening hours in 2020.
We have been able to finetune our opening hours having studied visiting patterns and listened to your feedback.
We will remain open 7 days a week and are replacing our Winter and Summer hours with Peak and Low season hours.
The low season hours will run from October 1st to April 30th and the main difference is that the Club will remain open
an extra 30 minutes on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday evenings. Over Easter, the Peak hours will be kept.

We look forward to seeing you in the Club over the festive season.
Keep warm and Happy Boating!
A note from Drew Gibson, CYC Senior Instructor
With the nights drawing in and the temperature dropping, there is less training
happening out on the water than in the summer months but there are still
good turnouts for lots of the sessions that are running through the winter.
October half-term saw the first offerings of winter training, and the Turbo Re-
gatta on the Friday proved popular with both the adult and junior sailors. I hope
that we can make this an annual event to kickstart the winter racing and train-
ing. In November, we had eight junior sailors out on a lovely Sunday afternoon,
with the Frozen Toe racers also out on the water.
There are sessions for adults and juniors throughout the rest of the winter, with
some between Christmas and New Year! We are also completing lots of
maintenance with the dinghies, pontoons and boat park, thanks to the Midweek
Working Party, who come down to the club on Wednesday mornings.
