Stranger in the Camp
Please do not be too alarmed when you see the Fin Keeler “Little Madam” on its side on mooring 53 at LW. This boat has broken loose from the Langstone Harbour Deep moorings and was recovered by the Harbour Patrol boat during the strong winds yesterday. It remains where it is until the owners representatives recover it over the weekend. Thanks to Richard Calas, Richard Barnes, Derek Beaves and Steve Skinner who launched their boats today and whilst doing so, trawled through the moorings to check for any damage that may have been caused when “Little Madam” broke away from down harbour. Please all check your boats when next out to satisfy yourself that no damage has occurred. This reiterates once again the importance of ensuring moorings are up to specification.

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

The weekend of Saturday & Sunday the 12th & 13th May 2012 saw the first RYA Level 1 Adult Sailing Course run by Club Instructors for some of the new members.
The weather for both days was kind considering what we have experienced recently. Saturday was spent both ashore and afloat learning the skills that is required
to sail and build confidence for those who have not sailed before. RYA Level 2 will be taken later in the year and will follow the similar format of achieving the required standard over a whole weekend.
There are still places available so if you need to register then please do so
