Spring Series and Commodores Cup races at Scarborough Yacht Club by Chris Clark 30 Apr 19:51 BST 24-25 April 2021
The two races were a Scarborough Yacht Club (SYC) single class Commodore s 2 Cup on Saturday 24th April, and Spring 2, a four class race. Both had good turnouts as crews, relieved to be back on the water after lockdown, showed determination and enthusiasm to make each day an event.
Scarborough Yacht Club and the 707 Association welcomed back five students from Leeds University Sailing Club (LUSC) for the second year. They were Natalie Clarkson, Harry Tilling, William Setra, Sam Hughes, and Nicholas Murphy. The 707 Association have again lent their boat Miss Moneypenny to SYC & LUSC for a full sailing year to encourage youth participation and sailing progression in Scarborough.
South Bay Sparkle will light up the harbour
South Bay Sparkle is aimed at raising funds for three local charities over the festive period by lighting up South Bay harbour.
The project involves South Bay businesses, the fishing and yachting community and residents.
Organisers have posted on their fundraising page: “2020 has been a horrid and for some a truly devastating year and so as we enter the Christmas holidays, the South Bay wanted to give a little back to the community as well as bringing a touch of sparkle and Christmas magic to the harbour.
The initiative will raise money for three local charities
