Tamar River Sailing Club is a small friendly family club situated on the sunny Devon banks of the River Tamar. We have easy access to the open sea as Plymouth Sound and distant horizons are only a short sail away.
The Club has much to offer. We have recently become an RYA recognised training centre and are able to provide our members with a variety of sail and power courses. We also have a Sonar keel boat dedicated for the use of the active disabled Sailability Group.
Welcome to all dinghy sailors from your sailing committee for 2008.
Our rates are by far the cheapest in the area and our racing is enthusiastic. Please join us if you wish to enjoy our super facilities. We see dinghy racing as having the biggest potential for growth. If you do not own a dinghy, Tamar River Sailing Club has a fleet of dinghies that are available for rent at a fair price. There is a Vision, 2 Fevas, 4 Toppers and 4 Picos. Dinghy racing starts Wednesday at 18:30. There is no fee for racing.
Contact the club for more information.
Have a look at the latest post on the forum (fuel tank failures). Diesel containing bio fuel has been shown to have detrimental and fatal engine consequences in some types of fuel tank fitted to some yachts.
The PPSA regatta roadshow boards are now at TRSC. Please come and have a look. More information can be found on the PPSA regatta website. Go to www.ppsa.org.uk and follow the link. There will be a rookies race for youngsters to get a feeling of racing. They will even supply the dinghies.
The forum is now up and running. Please take time to have a look and sign up.
Edit: the new site has also been set as default so you can all benifit from the added features.
We urgently need more volunteers to man the race hut on race days. Yours truly has to attend PPSA meetings on the last Monday in each month. It may well be a case of sharing the job around the racers, if no support is forthcoming.
