Cruiser Captain election

It’s that time of year again – After the lift-out safety brief on the 15th October, we need to elect next year’s Cruiser Captain. I am prepared to stand again, unless anyone else would like to give it a try. I would also like to hear if anyone has any suggestions for trips / cruises for next year, as calendar planning time is fast approaching. As you probably know, the main summer (Commodore’s) cruise is currently planned to take us to the Bay of Seine – what about the bank holidays? (end of May and August). How about an extra “Passage Race” out of the Solent (Poole maybe)? Following on from the Dinghy section end of season meeting, it is hoped to re-instate the Priory Bay cruise for dinghies and cruisers next year, with the possibility of cruisers taking extra family members / less confident dinghy crew / BBQ gear etc and chaperoning the dinghies to a degree during the crossing – They always used to be great fun!

If the highly successful “Bart’s Bash” event is going to be repeated next year (as is planned), it would be nice to have some sort of short race for the cruisers to join in too, if anyone has any ideas.
