Burns Night Supper
Well, what a night! Members and their guests were treated to a delicious 5 course meal and all the traditional theatre that comes with this event, plus further entertainment provided by the haunting sounds of the piper, a surprise visit from members of The Medina Marching Band and finally Jerry's disco. Enormous thanks go to Gordon Wight for staging the evening (even if we couldn't understand much of what he was saying at one point!)

Wight Knuckle Brewery Open Icebreaker Series
Finally, some weather we can use to get out on the water. After cancellations for gales from the end of December and through January, at last a fine spell. Cold, certainly, 3 degrees C and, we have to admit, very little wind. Despite this we had eighteen hardy sailors turning out in three classes for some good, competitive racing in the harbour. First to start were the four boats in

BHYC IW Junior and Youth Championships 2024
7.40am Saturday 2 nd November. I thought I would get to the club early. Wow what a turnout. Polly had clearly done her best to get an army of volunteers out early with cakes, teas and coffee, and some very welcome bacon rolls to motivate everyone.

Frostbite Series 2024 Race 1 Saturday 19th October
The calm before the storm, or more accurately, a very pleasant October afternoon with a perfect westerly breeze, before Storm Ashley hits the UK. And with one of the biggest tides of the year, coinciding with the 'Hunter's' full moon we had more water to play with than is often the case. Scows floating about on the apron, a small contretemps with the submerged mill wall, one scow sailor told me
