The August Rock buoy Fl green 5sec is now back on station after its winter overhaul. It has been moved slightly [50 metres] and an update for waypoint purposes will be published soon.
The winter gales do cause concern and we have put down a new mooring block with eye and new chain with welded shackles, expensive but very necessary.

For a trial period of 7 weeks, well-behaved dogs on a lead are allowed in the bar area. Please use the balcony entrance. Misbehaving dogs may be asked to leave at the discretion of The Stewards or a Committee member.
I would like to say a huge thank you to all the Members, tea helpers, Committee, safety boat crew, liberty boat crew, office, kitchen and bar staff for making Sunday such a huge success. Our reputation as the best day of Falmouth Week has certainly been upheld.
The tables were groaning with the quantity of delicious tea that was donated and there was not a crumb left!
The Club has received many congratulations on the hospitality provided.
Thank you – we could not have done it without you

Join us on this Saturday, November 25th, for our Christmas Craft Fair. This festive event is dedicated to raising funds for the RNLI, a vital organization in our community and for our members.
Date and Time: November 25th, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. | Set up begins at 9:30 a.m.
At the fair, enjoy the holiday spirit with festive treats such as mulled wine, cider, minced pies, and our usual selection of HRSC bar snacks. Explore a diverse array of stalls offering something for everyone, including contributions from the RNLI. Christmas cards and calendars, handcrafted candles, textile tea towels, artwork, fabric books, cozy cushions, unique driftwood items, prints, greeting cards, beautifully knitted creations, hand-painted pebbles, exquisite jewelry, and more.
All stalls showcase the work of local artisans, highlighting the incredible creativity in our area. This is a wonderful opportunity to support and celebrate the talents of our local craftspeople. Importantly, every penny earned from table rentals will be donated to the RNLI, a cause we are genuinely passionate about. 😄
Maija is a 50 year old Pioneer 10, owned by Chris Olsen. She races and does well in the HRSC Wednesday Evening Series.
Only three years ago, she was a boat yard derelict at Waldringfield in Suffolk. Her current owner got her seaworthy and with her current race crew was delivered to Gweek, where she was restored, mostly by Chris.
She performed well in the Falmouth Classics last year, but excelled herself this time around. As long as she does well in the forthcoming Fowey Classics, she stands in good stead to win her class and possibly “best boat” of the whole classic series.
Thank you Chris Newman for informing us of this fantastic story for the Helford sailing community
