Executive-2012

I learned to sail with the Largs SC cadets in the 1960's, when the Club was at its previous location in John Street, launching off the slipway at Cairnie's Quay. The cadets then were nothing like as well organised or extensive as the LSTA today!

The Club Captain is responsible for the running of the clubs fleet of boats; and for ensuring that the clubs on the water activities are run safely.

I have been a member of Largs Sailing Club since 1986 when my husband Donald and three children started to sail, and we joined as family members. I helped with the catering for several major events that were run from John Street in the 1990's and continued doing this when the Club moved to Largs Yacht Haven in 1999. I ''volunteered' to join the committee for three years as Secretary in 2002 and I still hold this position.
Over the past year I have reduced the time spent in the Club and have concentrated mainly on being 'Secretary'.

As sailing convener, I am responsible for organising the club racing activities with the assistance of the sailing sub-committee. This involves writing the sailing instructions, organising people to help run the racing and making sure that things run OK.
LSC runs racing for members in both dinghies and keelboats on Wednesday evenings and Sunday afternoons through the spring, summer and autumn.  If you have any questions about how the racing is run, how to take part or what could be done to improve things then please let me know.
