A Step Closer

With four boats Dorsal, Mirage, Tantrum, and Echo being put back in the water on the 27th March, the 3rd April greeted us with a beautiful day at Levington Marina while our maintenance team have been kept very busy getting everything ready for the 2025 sailing season.

The boats always look somewhat strange without their masts and rigging, and needless to say they don't sail very well either, so stepping the masts and getting the boats rigged for the upcoming season is a necessary but huge task. Thankfully we have an excellent team of very experienced volunteers willing to take on this job under the direction of EAST Chief Bosun John Maxwell, so the team quickly set about completely any final tasks on the masts before they were taken to the water to be stepped into each of our Sonar boats.

Our first adult sailing sessions will begin on the 29th April 2025, and we look forward to welcoming our sailors back to EAST for another year of sailing on the River Orwell.
