weekday sailing

   At Bartley sc, there is sailing every day but Monday and Friday during the summer months (at least when I last checked), there is also sailing every wednesday lunch time during the winter.
At St Catherine's sc there is sailing every Thursday evening during the summer, and I believe (although I have never sailed there during the winter) that they lay up every winter.

As far as I am aware, (during the summer) the weekday sailing is very popular - at least half the boats go out at St Catherine's, and at Bartley, a fair amount of people come out during the week when it is on - of course I am not there all the time, however, this is my experience of it....

	BBSC has evening sailing on a Thursday in the summer months. Usually it attracts around a dozen boats for the single handicap race... and it often turns into a drifter as the sun sets. I guess those that come the most regularly either live close enough and/or get off work early enough to make it worth while.

	Draycote - open 364 days a year with pro rescue cover. Water is typically open from 10ish through to dusk, slightly later for finishing the Wednesday driftathons. Wednesday day time sailing for Solos, and evening racing for everyone else who hasn't retired yet. Another night there's canoeing and even some talk of SUPping. Friday evening is a training race session, aimed at newbies, but all welcome; it's usually backed by an RYA bod and someone mean and handy with a BBQ for afterwards.

	Island Sailing Club Reading offer all year round sailing. For members who want to "unwind" after working in Reading(!), there's always the option of going for a sail after work, but the main weekday evening series is on Wednesdays during the Summer months. If enough participants turn up, someone will happily man a safety boat and even host a simple race. OK, it isn't full on racing and will never pretend to be, but I've had some of my most therapeutic sails ever there.
