Trophies Awarded at Buoyancy Day

Thanks to everyone who came along to Buoyancy Day – a great way to kick off the season. We handed out trophies from last year’s racing and other club events, and it was brilliant to see so many sailors recognised for their efforts.

If you didnt make it along to Buoyancy Day your trophies can be collected from the clubhouse over the next couple of weeks. Any trouble finding yours just get in touch with Rob (sailing@otley-sailingclub.co.uk)

We are saddened and shocked to share the news that Robert Espindola, a long serving Committee Member, Membership Secretary and Director of the club has passed away suddenly whilst sailing in France.

Our sincere condolences go to Robert's family and friends.

Very sad to share the news that one of our founding members, Norman Stephens passed away on 29th June. Our thoughts are with Marlene and the rest of his family and friends.

As a club, we will be planning a special event to celebrate Norman's life.

Norman's funeral will be held on Wednesday 27th July, 11.30am at Lawnswood Crematorium. Norman's family have asked that donation are made to Otley Sailing Club in Norman's memory.

Given the high levels of infection at the moment, the Committee has made the decision to cancel the usual Faith Lunch held after the Hangover Cup race.

The Hangover Cup race will still go ahead as planned.
