Calling every member, this is a great opportunity to celebrate our great club in this jubilee year by taking part in the Grand Parade of Boats. The object is to get as many craft afloat with as many members of all ages in them as possible, hopefully if the weather permits to parade down to Broughty Ferry and back. We want to put on a real show of strength and enjoy ourselves in the process. This applies to all craft, keelboats and Squibs on the moorings and in Tayport, dinghies, our rowing skiffs, rowing boats, kayaks, motor boats etc. If you dont own a boat then make sure you sign up to get in one, either crewing in a members boat or helming or crewing in one of our training boats or indeed our safety boats. Please do not offer any excuses!
Our workboat, MV Relentless, will be the flagship on the day and Admiral Baird will be on board both to inspect the assembled fleet and to lead the parade.
The proposed programme is noted below. It will be a significant logistical exercise to get all launched, afloat, assembled on the water, parading and then back to shore. It will be lots of fun and hopefully a great spectacle. Our former bunting will be available for those who would to dress vessels partially or overall.
Diane and team will be on hand to provide beach catering for participants and those not going afloat who wish to spectate. On return Diane and team will be providing a BBQ.
