Get into Print!

Summer is here so why not tell Ebb & Flow about how your sailing is going. Don’t be shy! Share your sailing stories, thoughts, suggestions, poems, songs, how you are going to win the next America’s Cup! We need your input to make the next Ebb and Flow interesting so please get in touch – anything sailing or (even vaguely) sailing-related is welcome. Cadets and new members are encouraged to contribute as well as those who are in for the long haul!

Please send your contributions to Richard Curtis at ebbnflow
