Charity Regatta - Pretuning/Training
Hi all,
Remember about Charity Regatta at PSC 26-27th Jan 2008.
Thomas will be tuning this Saturday and if you need help he has offered. You can also join them sailing afterwards, just to get back on the water.
The FD's have their unofficial nationals on the same weekend as the Charity Regatta at PSC. I am challenging any 505 to beat the leading FD (Nigel Trevarthin), no handicap challenge, you must be over the line ahead of the winning FD. There is a prize for each crew and skipper who achieves this;-)
Albrecht has been doing some basic training at Aeolians recently and last weekend had 3 boats on the water training 2 new crews and 1 new skipper. Well done, we will see at least two of the new trainees in action at the Charity regatta.
