A selection of hot and cold food, drinks and confectionery is available from the Galley on all racing days, special events and training. Try the muffins after sailing – they're great! BBQ's are also run for Club members on some Saturday afternoons after racing.
The boat-shed houses the training fleet, rescue boats and private boats belonging to members. Contact the Boat-Shed Captain if you are interested in hiring a space (conditions apply).
