Part of walkway at Burnham-On-Sea Sailing Club closed after storm damage Burnham-On-Sea Sailing Club has closed a section of the wooden walkway next to the club’s pontoons following recent storm damage. Talking to Burnham-On-Sea.com, Erik Torkildsen, Burnham-On-Sea Sailing Club’s commodore, said: “Recent high tides have damaged several sections of the walkway – the wooden boards were already showing their age and several have gone, leaving gaps.” He added: “We’ve therefore put up a sign advising people to keep safe and stay well clear.” “We considered putting bollards up, but they would obviously get washed away on the next set of tides.”
