Time to return your trophies

As we start to make preparations for the prize giving at the start of 2018, its time for trophy winners to empty out your trophy cabinets and return any trophies to the club. Do not leave them in the main club room – please make sure that they are locked in the galley/bar or in the race box. If you fancy giving them a quick polish before you return them, that will be very much appreciated.

Get into Print!

That’s another year almost over. Rather than watching adverts for Christmas food and gifts, why not put pen to paper – or fingers to keyboard – and write a contribution for the winter issue of Ebb & Flow. Don’t wait until the new year to make a resolution to write for the magazine, let’s hear what you were doing out on the water in 2017. There must be some sailing stories out there that deserve a wider audience so please get in touch – anything sailing (or vaguely) sailing-related is welcome. Cadets and new members are encouraged to contribute as well as those who have been “floating around” for longer.

Please send your contributions to me at the address below.

Wysiwig

In order to keep Wysiwig’s sails in their current condition it has been decided to remove them from the boat for the winter months. Wysiwig will still be available to use during this period but in order to gain access to the sails please email Neil Boyce who has kindly agreed to make the sails available to anyone who needs them. Neil can be contacted through clubboats.

Whilst on the subject of Wysiwig’s sails, I wonder whether anyone has any unwanted sail bags that they could donate to Wysiwig. There is no bag for the rolled main or jib at present.
