Cruiser Declarations
Ladies and Gents, the Cruiser Sailing Series is nearly upon us with less than 1 week before the start of the first Gales Series. To date, I have only received 6 completed declarations. Please could I ask all Cruiser Sailors, that are intending to race this season, to complete the attached form and either return it by email to myself, or the Sailing Secretary. If you have made any changes to your boat please complete all sections; if all is the same as last season could you just complete the “rig declaration” section detailing your rig preference for in and out of harbour races. The first race of the Gales Series is on the 30/04/12 so your prompt attention to this matter would be very much appreciated. Andy Healey – Cruiser Race Coordinator – Andy.Healey

DINGHY LANGSTONE HARBOUR HIGH WATER CRUISE – RESCHEDULED SUNDAY 20th MAY 2012
The Langstone High Water Cruise was postponed on Easter Monday due to the inclement weather and has now been rescheduled for Sunday 20th May 2012. The Cruise is an ideal opportunity to sail in the company of other club dinghies (and a patrol boat) around the harbour. The cruise will be a relaxed sail and depending on the conditions, we may be able to sail through the North Binness Channel. We will stop en route for a snack so please provision well and if the weather is really good we may stop for an ice cream, so bring some money. An anchor is useful though not essential. Meet at the Club, ready to sail, for a briefing at 10.30 hours. Hopefully see you there; the more the merrier. For more details on Dinghy News contact: Steve Jones, Dinghy Captain – dinghies
