Celebrating 20 Years of RCSSC - founded July 2022

Pete Shuttleworth was the driving forces behind founding Rutland Civil Service Sailing Club and he gathered a group of interested sailors at Rutland Sailing Club to establish if there was interested in forming a keelboat sailing club - Tony Garrick was one of those interested and like Pete, is still sailing with RCSSC today. Recently we bade farewell to Graham Hudson, also a founding member - and we hope he and other founders will stay in touch with RCSSC and come for a sail some time. The others in the club have all contributed to RCSSC flourishing and growing and making sailing affordable and accessible. Though the CSSC we run tasters and enjoy them as much as our guests. Pete now lives back in Yorkshire and his decision to pop down for a couple of days and sail, coincides (almost - it was on 21 July 2022 at RSC) with the initial founding meeting. The Club got its boats in 2003 and was sailing soon afterwards and continues to do so. The Squib was chosen by the founders and has proved to be a good choice. It gives an exciting sail for those with experience and is kind for those who are just starting out. The Soling brings another dimension and is beautiful to sail.
