As the RNLI themselves say:

Your lifejacket may save your life one day, but only if you maintain it properly. If your lifejacket is faulty, all you’re wearing is a dead weight.

At a RNLI lifejacket clinic, specially trained RNLI volunteers will show you how to maintain your lifejacket to keep it fully functioning. They’ll show you how to check it for wear and tear and do simple maintenance tasks like replacing gas bottles and firing heads. At one of their recent clinics, they found 80% of lifejackets had faults, and many had serious defects.

Don’t wait till you’re in trouble to find out your lifejacket is not working properly.

Our annual boat launch weekend. If you would like to have your boat lifted back into the water, please contact a member of the committee so you can be added to the list.

Our annual ladies race whereby a lady must be on the helm at all times. This year, we are trying to get a mystery guest starter for the race.

The pursuit race is always a great test but without the (sometimes) nerve shredding starts. Each boat starts at an allotted time based on their handicap. The race has a time limit. At the end of the race the order the boats are in is the order they finish in.

Often, our cruisers make a night of it in Newton and enjoy a pint in the pub on the green. Our racers either stay the night or come back to the bar @ CYC.

This race is across the tide.
