Costa Del Gorleston basked in sunshine as sailors arrived at the club for the final outing of the Summer series. The forecast for 20+ degree temperatures attracted a good turnout along with several beach goers. One problem…… no wind. The forecast was for a sea breeze to fill by 11.00 so everyone was ….
The wind was offshore resulting in shifty and gusty conditions for the penultimate outing of the Summer series. With LW at 10.00 there was still a hint of ebb flood at the start of racing. Nick’s day ended early as no sooner had he launched and attempted to head to the start line his tiller parted company ….
If Carlsberg did Thursday evenings……. tonight’s outing was ‘probably’ one of them!

A lovely evening for sailing
Another outing with all boats singlehanders ….
GYGSC is a small friendly informal club with probably the best sea sailing in Norfolk. We sail on Sundays & Thursday evenings throughout the summer. A range of dinghy and cat classes are sailed including D1, Spitfire cat, Laser, Phantom, Europe, OK, Solution, RS Vareo, RS300, RS400, RS500, RS600,RS700 & RS800
GYGSC is located on the Gorleston side of the inner harbour mouth next to the Pier hotel and fronting onto the promenade. The club dinghy Park is secure as it is surrounded by a six foot high fence. A ramp located near the club runs between the promenade and the beach. This provides access to the sea which allows launching in all tides and most weather situations.
