Thoughts are with everyone who might be effected by events taking place on the North Sea.

I suspect when we head off to Norfolk the weekend after next we might find ourselves minus one Sprint 15.

Snetty SC had their dinghy park and generator container flooded, Brancaster SC was flooded so goodness know whet the dinghy park was like, I saw pictures from the Blakeney harbour webcam yesterday where all you could see looking out was sea. If there were boats in the dinghy park there, they might not be there now.
Like some other things - sailing is more enjoyable when you do it with someone else

Sounds as if West Kirby were badly affected according to their web site.

"The boatyard fenced has been ripped off the end of the yard. Many dinghies were blown over. The majority of damage was caused by moving objects going through the boat yard. The Cruiser fleet also suffered with all the boats falling on top of one another.

The sea water continued up to the clubhouse and has left a trail of destruction around it."


Best of luck to all affected sailors and clubs. Hope it doesn't turn out to be as bad as it sounds.

Agree, best of luck. Suddenly, sailing so far from the sea seems wise...

Very true, on the other hand after the strong winds on Thursday, it looks like I've got a a trip to lymington to get a boat repaired.  Cry

But looking on the bright side, the boat is dry and still in the boat park and my house has not fallen into the sea.

I think you're probably right. I know quite a few people living on the island and they were posting pictures on Facebook of some very deep water, my mate reckoned it got chest deep along some parts of the road. There was even a video of a dory planing it's way down the road along the seafront.

Dinghy park at Brightlingsea flooded to maybe 0.75m.  A lot of boats pulled their tie-downs out of the ground.  Clubhouse flooded but no serious damage.  Lots of beach huts moved, some missing.
