Sunday Sailors go to Portland

Class members take a break in… Portland – Weymouth Harbour

by Andrew Powell

Firstly, a little about First Sunday Sailors: we are based at Aquasports, an RYA centre at Mercers Country Park not far from Redhill, Surrey.  We started meeting in 2010, on the first Sunday of each month to do a little informal racing largely to improve our skills. In recent years we have taken trips together to various harbours and bays to sail in salt water, usually basing ourselves in convenient campsites. A favourite venue is Cobnor (where you will all be familiar), but we have also sailed from Rockley in Poole, and from the National Trust slipway in Studland Bay.
