• Watling Streetworks Winter Series - 2 February 2025

    Another Sunday morning in the Baldwin Valley that missed the winter gales that the rest of the Island were experiencing.  I’d like to say the sun was shining too for the first of the February Watling Streetworks Series of dinghy racing but it did at least stop raining for a great fleet of 15 boats. The wind blowing mostly up the valley allowed the Race Officer to set a square course, windward/leeward and t...

  • Watling Streetworks Winter Series - 12 January 2025

    Dinghy racing for 2025 started on Sunday morning, following the previous week's issues snow, dinghy’s snowed in and crews snowed out!

    A grey day at Injebreck Storm Eowyn warnings for the end of this week, but conditions could not have been more different for dinghy racing on West Baldwin reservoir last Sunday morning. The gentle south easterly wind blew mostly up the lake, the odd waft here and there, difficult to call then gusts and of course the usual deadly hollows. The fleet of thirteen started Race one and quickly sorted themselves...

  • Watling Streetworks Winter Series - 16 March 2025

    Reflections don't make for exciting sailing! For the latest round of the Watling Streetworks Winter Series, there was little wind in the forecast and what was expected would be from the East. That side is protected by the ridge that separates East and West Baldwin with some, possibly, catabatic wind with the cooler air rolling down from Carraghan so it was patchy and mostly from Northerly direction down the West...

  • Watling Streetworks Winter Series - 23 March 2025

    Will Osbourn enjoying the conditions As with the previous last two weekends the wind was from the north on Sunday, blowing down the West Baldwin valley, the difference being, nature turned up the volume. For this round of the Watling Streetworks Winter Series there were enough competitors shoreside to have fleets of equal numbers from the two previous weeks.  A few particularly strong gusts made their...

2025 Cruiser Races and Events

The 2025 Ramsey Shipping Services Round the Island Race will be held on Sunday 6 July, for full details and to get a copy of the Notice of Race and Entry Form please go to the RTI pages.

This year we will try for some evening sails in the yachts which could be short races or just a bit of a sail round the bay for learners or people who just want to go for a sail with some company.  There are a number of evening events when the tides are in.  Newcomers will be accommodated on these trips if skippers can safely manage them – attendance at the boats will be 30 minutes before the bridge swing and putting boats to bed half an hour after the bridge swing back after which you will be welcomed into the club and encouraged to join if not already a member.  Best to drop into the club the Sunday lunchtime beforehand or other opportunity to fix up a ride.

A few races round Ramsey Bay could also been slotted into the programme, for more information please contact our Cruiser Captain, Brian Quayle (yogiquayle@gmail.com (07624 496883) for further information.
