WOBYC RACING SET TO RESUME ON 6th DECEMBER
UPDATED ON DECEMBER 2nd
Due to the 2nd National Lockdown, the WOBYC Winter Programme couldn’t start in November but we are ready to begin racing on Sunday 6th December. Racing is for Dinghies and Squibs. Each fleet will, as usual, get 2 races but they will be run back-to-back instead of having a break between them. The first start times are: Mixed Dinghies (fast and slow handicap sail together) 10.15; Squibs 10.21. The dinghies are likely to sail ‘average lap’ handicap races – so don’t forget to sail through the gate (between the start-line distance marks) at the end/start of each lap.
Apart from toilets, the clubhouse will be closed to competitors and spectators. Bring your own drinks and snacks!
AGM postponed until 11th December
The WOBYC AGM will be held online on Friday 11th December (1 week later than originally planned). Details have been emailed to members.
The Waveney & Oulton Broad Yacht Club is one of the regions premier sailing clubs, and the only one in the broadland area to offer racing 52 weeks of the year.
Situated on the south side of Oulton Broad in Nicholas Everitt Park it boasts an enviable position with views of the whole sailing area from the grounds and each of the three balconies. Facilities include changing facilities, a canteen, stair and lift access to the first floor where there is a large bar area and the race control office or ‘the box’. Outside there are two large floating pontoon jetties which offer safe and easy mooring.
WOBYC is a club run by its members for its members.
