Down time means gardening time at Darwin Sailing Club

After the Darwin Sailing Club was forced to stand down their staff in March things were not looking good for the club grounds as gardening was not the highest priority. A number of green thumbed senior members led by Lindsey Wharton took matters into their own hands.

Port Esperance Sailing Club Destroyed

We are sad to inform you that just over a week ago, on the night of Thursday 23rd April, the Port Esperance Sailing Club in Dover was burnt down. All the club’s sailing dinghies were destroyed. The fire ripped through the back of the building, the roof and the recently re-built veranda. Although the brick part of the building still stands, it unfortunately will have to be demolished as it is now unsafe.

Vale Bill Bell

The sailing world has lost a great friend. Quietly spoken, but always considered, Bill Bell was a great friend to many sailors across the world and will be sorely missed. He made a significant contribution to the sport of sailing, both as a sailor, an International Judge and a club official, and he was hugely respected worldwide for his calm and authoritative approach.
