FBYC welcomed a lovely group of about 20 ladies to the club this weekend for the Women’s Sailing Clinic. Beginners and more experienced sailors, members and non-members alike gathered for two gorgeous days on the water.

FBYC celebrated Independence Day with an exciting One Design Long Distance race in building conditions!
Congratulations go to Walker Angus for winning the day and the Hicks Trophy, which is FBYC's perpetual trophy for this unique event. Walker skippered one of the club's new Melges 15's as well - great to see this new class taking off at the club (in more ways than one!).
