Congratulations to the Gunner Windsurfing Team!
The 2019 Army Windsurf Championships were held at the Army Inshore Sail Training Centre on Thorney Island between 9th and 13th March.
The Royal Artillery walked away in 1st place as Inter-Corps Champions with the RLC in 2nd and RE in 3rd. This achievement was not only down to the results from this re-run event but also the results from the Novice and Foil events earlier in 2019. (Novice 1st Gnr Whitehouse 16RA, Novice 2nd Gnr Elliot 16RA and Foiling 3rd Bdr Jackson).

Important RYA update from Chair and CEO
The Royal Yachting Association (RYA) has issued important guidance and advice for sailors, employees and yacht owners in a letter that is reproduced under News. The advice and guidance on a RYA Coronavirus Hub including:
- Advice and information for recreational boaters
- FAQs for RYA Affiliated Clubs, Classes and Recognised Training Centres
- Lockdown insurance update from Bishop Skinner Marine
- Financial support for clubs and centres
- Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme advice
RYA Coronavirus Hub includes webinars within onlne sailing specific content.
The RYA is lobbying government for an early return to the water and supporting a safe and appropriate return to the water and will be getting the message over that there is a very strong case for boating to be one of the first activities that could be resumed safely within any necessary parameters for social distancing, once we start to see a relaxation of the current restrictions.
