Albert Sailing Club is organising a three-week non-competitive introduction to racing programme for the club's junior members.
When? On Saturday 10th, 17th and 24th February (on the water at 11 am till 12 pm).
This timing allows sailors to join the afternoon Green Fleet programme, sail club race or packup and leave for another activity.
