Week night sailing?

[flaming]

Hello friendly east coast people!

Although I've been living and sailing in that hallowed place known as "the Solent" for the last few years, I am originally from Suffolk. I've just moved back, at least on a mon/fri basis, for work, and I've been looking for some week night sailing. I've tried google, and the various club websites that I could think of, but I've not tracked anything down. Does anyone know of any week night racing going on near Ipswich? And better yet, any boats that might want crew?

Or failing that, does anyone sail in the evenings from the Ipswich area, and would be prepared to have a guest?

Thanks!

I pretty sure that Levington (HPYC) has Wednesday night sailing...

Will ask about.... a good few boats in my marina (Shotley) that sail mid week, and may be looking for crew

Haven Ports runs its Lightship series on Wednesday evenings up to and including July 9th. White sails only to encourage cruiser people.
22 boats out the other week apparently.
Give them a ring. You get to meet lottery winners too!

That was listed in the calendar on the web page I put in my post.

Now I see it! But to be fair, without knowing that "lightships" was evening racing, I missed it.

It's a sneaky disguise to keep outsiders outside......(not really)
