Almost to the day, last year, my blog entry was about the National Squib keelboat. I have little to add to that article*, but here’s a photo of ‘Brutus’, being made ready for launching at Rice and Coles, Burnham-on-Crouch. I’ve also included extra links to websites featuring Squibs.
The Royal Corinthian Yacht Club has a strong Squib racing fleet with a number of sailors who do well at National events. The racing programme runs from early March to late November. Races take place on Saturdays, Sundays and Wednesday evenings. The Class Captain is Phil Aspinall. More information can be obtained from squibs@royalcorinthian.co.uk .
