At Tynemouth, we have racing on Sunday afternoons, with sunday mornings currently an informal coaching session, helping to bridge the gap between RYA2 and competitive sailing.
Weds evenings are very popular for serious racers, where we have a highly competitive Ent fleet. Friday evenings junior sessions with some informal adult sailing whilst we have safety cover Saturdays only used for special events, but the clubhouse if often rented for weddings, parties etc in saturdays |

We used to race on both Sat & Sun assuming the tide was in. Attendance on Saturdays was pretty poor so we now have training or what we term free sailing, where the people who turn up can organise to go for a cruise up the river, or hold race training or just sail around in a designated area. It seems to work well and we focus on Sundays for racing.

West Oxfordshire SC-Saturdays might be Junior team racing, novices racing or free sailing with safety boat in the summer. Sundays for handicap racing. Easy enough when the water doesn't go up and down or side to side like Craiggo's, Wednesdays in summer. I reckon we could get Friday evening racing going too-used to do it for Ladies sailing.

Royal Harwich,
Our most popular is the Wednesday Evening Series during Summer, with 'different' races on Sunday such as a race to the Orwell Bridge and a Scatter Race with the river's channel marks being more popular than standard Sunday racing. As its tidal racing is at different times and Sunday afternoons tend to be more popular. Saturday sees a lot of junior sailing / RYA Onboard, hopefully these will trickle into club racing in due course. Evening racing is fantastic.

For dinghy racing its a very even split between Saturdays and Sundays, leaning towards Sundays by maybe 3 -5% over the season. We have Saturday and Sunday series races so that those committed elsewhere at the weekends have a chance to win a series either way. Trophy weekends / days over bank holidays are varied with single Saturday and Sundays trophies, 2 day bank holiday events and one 4 day event. Tuesdays and Fridays for adult beginners is very popular. Cruiser racing tends to mix up the weekends more due to the inter club series.

Crosby SC
Club dinghy racing Sundays all through the year Saturdays recreational sailing, new learners and coaching Friday evening new learners , free sailing. Moves to Saturday when evening light fails. Wednesday evening racing in summer, but this has fallen off the race coaching for newer racers. We have the facility to sail / race in the evening due to lake can be flood lit but not very regularly used. |
