Try-A-Wanderer 2024

Join us at Marlow Sailing Club hosted by John and Jenny Renouf to have a go sailing a Wanderer on the Thames. This is the ideal opportunity for non- members to either meet the association or try sailing a Wanderer. Marlow SC is probably the most relaxed in the country on the grassy banks of the Thames, just upstream from Bisham Abbey. Launching and recovery is a doddle, perfect for beginners and experienced crews. There is no fixed agenda….. we tinker with our boats and exchange tips and then have some fun sailing which starts when someone shouts “Go”. More details from John Renouf – 1953jgr@gmail.com

MSC had chosen to combine the
