Four people are required for each Mum-booking, and booking in advance is essential as we expect to be very busy!

Friday 5th April
Club night at SYC is an informal monthly gathering when members are encouraged to come along to the main Shoreham club house, treating the occasion very much like a night out at a good pub with friends.
Our Steward Natalie with Chef Alan present an excellent supper with service commencing at 19:30 sharp with diners served two courses for £12.50.
Menu can be seen below...
Sussex Sailability, based at Sussex Yacht Club, is urgently looking for volunteers who can sail to support its members as they take to the water.
Twelve volunteers are needed who would enable disabled sailors to learn and enjoy the sport, in a safe and controlled environment, on the charity’s specially adapted boats.
An inspirational eighty-four year old sailor is encouraging Sussex families to get out on the water together.
David Skinner has been an active member of Sussex Yacht Club since 1971 and was the club’s Commodore in 1994. For the last 40 years he’s been sharing his passion for sailing with those who are new to the sport by taking them out on his own boat to show them the ropes.
We are offering free community space
The Yacht Club is opening its doors to offer its clubhouse facilities to local community groups for free, since we are keen to help not-for-profit groups that are in need of a space to meet.
Changes to the rule governing the allocation of Southwick moorings
The land on which our Southwick west pontoon is built is leased from the port and this lease expires in 2019. In addition, the physical structure of the jetty is now at the end of its design life. Rebuilding this jetty in the same location is not an option as it’s location conflicts with the ports own development plans for the Lady Bee marina. Accordingly a new layout for our Southwick moorings has been designed. Various configurations are under consideration but none provide the same number of berths at Southwick that we currently enjoy.
Lendy Cowes Week
Chartered from Sailability, the Sonar 'Josh' is being raced at Lendy Cowes Week this year with Charlie Laurence-Fuller on the helm. Our team of under 25 year olds is racing at this world class regatta for the first time as a team and the following links lead to some picture sources and an article on the regatta website.

BRIGHTON DOLPHIN PROJECT
The Brighton Dolphin Project launched by the World Cetacean Alliance aims to connect people to the incredible marine life off the local coast. Their new Discovery Centre, based on Brighton beach next to Brighton pier, is where they are collecting data regarding Brighton’s current and historical dolphin populations. They are very interested in photos and video footage of dolphin encounters caught by the public.
If you have any information/footage of encounters with dolphins that would be good for their Discovery Centre please visit their Facebook page and report any sightings or information. Other social media includes: Brighton Dolphin Project Instagram: brighton_dolphin_project and Twitter: BriDolpProject
Club functions have recently had a poor uptake, which resulted in the hard decision to postpone the Summer Party, upsetting those that already had the date in their diary
Club events require sufficient interest in order to be viable and having only a few members signing up in advance, clearly gives myself and the house committee a problem... we are here to entertain and please you rather than gamble with club funds!
In order to book a band, produce quality food at reasonable prices and generally put on a good event, I really do need you lovely members to try and book or express your interest well in advance. Only then are we able to commit to booking a band. Please remember: No bookings = No event!
Support your Yacht Club, book your places as early as you can and join in the fun!

From the Harbour Master
It is with sadness that I must inform you that whilst on a vessel moored alongside a quay in the West Arm of Shoreham Harbour, a person sustained an injury, of the loss of part of a finger. One of the contributing factors of this incident was other vessel movements in excessive wake/wash.
