The club co-hosts the Finn Trophy/Crossley Cup Regatta annually & Eagle represents the club for two races on Saturday and one on Sunday. We race ‘around the cans’ in mid-Solent and have a formal dinner/prize giving at the Royal Ocean Racing Club, Cowes, on Saturday night.

There are some crew places left for the weekend of 17th/18th September, so sign up for a different sailing experience if you haven’t raced before ~ no prior experience is required.

If you would like to book a place, please don’t leave it to the last minute, book club events online by signing on through the members area of the website www.spreadeaglesailingclub.co.uk and going to the Club Event page or the Club Activities page; or contact Event Co-ordinator Ian Hyde by email on ian@mdsfg.com or phone 07974 349331; or you can also contact Phil Boden, the event skipper on 07733 024615 where you can reserve your berth or ask for more information on the racing.

Our non formal constructive activities are run by experienced club skippers to ensure that everyone gets the benefit of their expertise and knowledge, at a cost of £170 per person for weekend events, £220 for the 3 day events and £300 for the Five-Day Cruise including the cost of fuel, with just food, and moorings beyond Universal Marina as an addition.

Please do join our closed Facebook group ‘Spread Eagle Sailing Club’ where members regularly post pictures of their ventures on Eagle and other news including information on the Solent hazards.

As always, please continue to share your stories and pictures of club or general sailing events with the editor jane@wag-design.com
