RS400 Lee-on-Solent Sailing Club / Warsash Sailing Club interclub event, 13 September 2020
Stemming from an idea by David Swift of Warsash Sailing Club (WSC) and Annabel Darch of Lee-on-the-Solent Sailing Club (LOSSC) the inaugural interclub event between the two clubs proved popular, with 7 Warsash and 13 Lee entries making the short trip to the race area. The races were held in neutral territory roughly half way between the two clubs, on the Solent off Hill Head, with a Force 2 to 3 and bright sunshine throughout

We have also seen members windsurfing, out on paddle boards, working on their boats or simply relaxing on the beach. It has been so good to see people 'for real' and I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who has helped

LOSSC and VE Day
LOSSC Trustee Jerry Wells wrote the following to commemorate VE Day - a very interesting and evocative insight into VE Day in Lee 75 years ago. It was late in the afternoon of 7th May 1945 that the BBC interrupted its scheduled radio programmes to announce that Nazi Germany had signed the document of unconditional surrender and that the war in Europe would end at one minute after midnight the
