RNSA(P) Early Summer Series Race 5

Brisk breeze reduces fleet but makes for exciting sailing With the wind blowing 25+ kts the fleet that assembled for the fifth race of the Early Summer Series was somewhat reduced. Dead low water springs did not help making for a much longer passage to the starting area and resulted in a couple of boats making very late starts.

Tidal Diamond 330 – Langstone Harbour Race Weekend, Workshop users

Tidal Diamond No. 330

Langstone Harbour Race Weekend

WANTED ! GALLEY SLAVES !

Do you need some extra maintenance hours ? Can you lend a hand in the galley over the LHRW weekend? Even if you are not galley trained we can do with your help.

The galley can only open over the weekend if we have sufficient people to cover the expected opening hours.

The social committee members have generously committed to covering most of the duties but we still have several duties that we need people to assist with.

If you can assist please contact Steve Francis as below.

Without your assistance the galley may not be able to open at certain times over the weekend.

Also, if anyone attending the LHRW can assist by bringing in cakes for Monday afternoon that would also be very much appreciated. Again, if you could let Steve Francis know if you can assist.

Many thanks,

Steve Francis
TSC Social Secretary
