WWYC 2026 Fitting Out Dinner

The River Breeze Bar & Cafe was buzzing this past weekend as we gathered for our annual Fitting Out Dinner, marking the official start of the 2026 boating season. It was a fantastic evening of catching up with old friends, welcoming new faces, and looking forward to the fair winds and following seas ahead.

Toasts and Traditions

Our Commodore, Andrew Rogers, led the evening with the traditional toasts, setting a celebratory tone for the year. Beyond the formalities, the night served as a great opportunity to reflect on the dedication of our members who keep the club's spirit—and our fleet—in top shape.

Celebrating the 2025 Winter Series

While our eyes are on the horizon for 2026, we took a moment to honour the skill and grit shown during the colder months. Andrew presented the official results for the 2025 Winter Series Racing. The competition was fierce, and the camaraderie even stronger. Check out the full results and podium finishers on our dedicated racing here!

Community Spirit

A huge thank you to everyone who participated in our raffle. Thanks to your generosity, we raised £130! These funds go directly back into the club, helping us maintain our assets and support our upcoming seasonal events.
