Thoughts and information from the club captain
|
|
|
|
During last Wednesday’s (7/12) race, the wind increased much more than expected. The Nolex 25 Seriously had a M.O.B. and Seriously ended up on the beach. Fortunately, the M.O.B. was wearing a lifejacket, and the boat has little damage.

Can members please remember that trolleys need to be returned to the yard once you have finished with them.
|
It is OK to return them once you are back in from sailing (if it is the same day), but 6 trolleys were left stacked up behind F gate this week.
|
Please have some consideration for your fellow members.
