I'm just curious to know, I,m thinking of weekend club racing and not specific events. My preference is for Saturday, leaving Sunday for family time, chores and Tesco shop.

Well most of the opens in my class are on saturdays, so I much prefer sunday club racing so that they don't clash!

As above.
 Also valuable weekend time should never be wasted doing chores or the Tesco shop. The weekend is for fun, families and sailing.

Sunday as Saturday is for making the long trip to the chandlers' to get bits and pieces to fix the boat since they don't open on Sundays!
Supermarket shopping can be done any weekday and should be adults only to save time and money!
Or Saturday is for Junior sailing if they are old enough.

Agree with Sunday sailing. And with Sunday as a day to avoid shops like the plague. 1st, the should be shut, 2nd, hardly anyone else thinks this, so they are always hell. Monday morning shoppers are efficient and get on with the shopping. Sunday shoppers appear to think they are having a day out - bloody weirdos - and simply get in the way.

Sundays.
Sometimes as punishment for years of former misdeeds, the bread knife makes me go into Supermarket places it has even happened on a Saturday, Saturday is holy, play, do wtf I like day, I regard it as a supreme sacrifice if I go, as to shopping on a Sunday - heresy! Anyone doing it or encouraging the act should be burned at the stake on a bonfire of Enterprises and GP14's with a Miracle used for kindling. Edited by iGRF - 03 Jan 14 at 9:15am |

what you need is a club which offers competitive sailing on both saturday and sunday- then you can pick and choose your sailing calendar around the myriad of other factors:
weddings, no wind, family visits, club working parties- you can't very well go sailing while everyone else is picking up litter or giving the bogs their annual clean. Old friends visiting, holidays, family birthdays, overseas work travel, city breaks, too much wind, sodding mass-pursuit races, children's parties, other sporting commitments, hangovers from hell, children's activities, open meeting non-members (sorry 'guests') taking all the parking, christenings (for kids who then don't go to church), topless Polish girls in summertime, 'sunday lunch' with friends at overpriced gastropubs that you can't even drink at as you've driven 30 minutes to get there for someone to present you with a boring ol' roast dinner, when all you really wanted was a bacon butty from the galley and a bad case of acid indigestion at the leeward mark... Nope, the best day for sailing is Wednesday evening. That's sacrosanct... May to September, outside of family holidays, Wednesday sailing is a religion. Edited by yellowwelly - 03 Jan 14 at 9:42am |

Our racing is set by the tide, so varies from week to week.
Having grown up inland, where we raced all day every Sunday, I do like the variable times we have now as it means we can do other stuff too (e.g. kids can do other sports as well as sail, as they don't clash every week).
