Governor's Harbour Homecoming 2009
The Governor's Harbour Sailing Club is a non profit organisation dedicated to promoting and facilitating the sport of sailing in Governor's Harbour, Eleuthera, Bahamas. The club is affiliated with the Bahamas Sailing Association in Nassau.
Optimist (Opti) and Sunfish.
Laser and Capri.
Committee boat
We currently have 7 "optis", 4 sunfish, 3 Lasers and a 14ft Capri 2 man boat. We have a 12ft Carolina Skiff and rigid inflatable as safety boats and 16ft committee boat.
Racing takes place in the harbour every Saturday morning at 10.00 . The boats are launched and rigged on the beach in front of the library. The first race starts at 11.00. The course is usually set up in the Harbour so that the races can be clearly seen. The boats are split into three classes, the Optis start first then the Sunfish and Lasers. Here are the results for March and May points series
Two of our sailors competed in the Sunfish Nationals and five of our Opti sailors have competed in the Bahamas Nationals. One of our sailors (Rodney Cadet) achieved 3rd place in Nassau.
We offer certificates in Basic Sailing and Safety Boat Operation. New junior members, aged 8 to16, are welcome to attend for the Wednesday evening session at 4.00, but must complete an application form which must be signed by their parent/guardian, and must pass a swimming test. There is no charge for junior membership, but donations, such as supplying lunch after the Saturday races are greatly appreciated.
We offer sailing lessons and sail boat charter to individuals and groups at any time by appointment. Please contact the commodore mark@skipperscottage.com or the secretary missy@skipperscottage.com for further details or telephone 470 5187
The Club is always looking for donations and sponsorship.
