2012 Season Starting

13th March 2012

It's a New Year and Pirates & Buccaneers are raring to go! We start on Sunday, 1 April, with sessions commencing at 1:30 PM registration with Richard Meakin.

After that sessions will be every other Sunday, so please consult the Pirates and Buccaneers website or the club fixtures list for future dates. This year the beginners and younger children, mainly in Optimists and Tera's, will be coached by Richard Meakin. The older children and intermediates, mainly in Teras, Toppers and a single-handed Mirror, will be coached by Richard Hudson.

For parents, as we are starting in April (when the water temperature is still cold) please ensure your children have the following:-

  • long wetsuit, not a shorty
  • sailing gloves
  • wetsuit boots
  • sailing top (splashtop or waterproofs)
  • appropriate buoyancy aid (we can provide for beginners)
  • a hat

If you are attending with your own boat, please ensure that is in good working order before each session starts.

Later in the season as things get hotter then shortie wet suits will be fine, but please also ensure children have sunglasses for the glare on the water and plenty of sun lotion applied.

See you all there!

Richard Hudson
Rear Commodore BBSC.
