After a hasty change of date to the Saturday for a much better weather forecast, the Dinghy sailors gathered at the Hub Club yesterday to put the club dinghies and their gear to bed for Winter.
This involved drying out and then folding the sails, before taking them to the Mezzanine Floor for Winter storage. A series of long washing lines were set up for this purpose.
Masts and booms were removed and the masts laid down against the bank. Then boats were turned over to keep them secure during wet and windy days to come.
The sailors brought their own packed lunches and this was supplemented by a box of doughnuts and a marbled chocolate and vanilla cake – made by our Dinghy Officer, Rosie. All this helped to keep the workers happy!
