Sunday Morning Sail 19th February 2012

Hi Everybody.

Here we are again, another fine Sunday morning, a lovely sunny day but a little chilly.  We had an excellent turnout once again, with quite a few different boats on the water.  Judging by the numbers of club 500 boats on the water, our members cannot wait to get racing again, please be patient we will be starting again very soon now.

David Baker brought his springer tug "The Sherman" and did some sea trials which were very successful, another form of rescue boat for use in emergencies.  Ian R continues to have trouble with his fast electric boats even with Rob's help.  I think he will have to go back to the supplier and complain about it's poor performance.

Ian R has given us an excellent trolley for club use and it will be ideal for transporting the rescue boat to and from the "leg", we will be able to push the boat into the water and then remove the trolley making it much easier to manage and less strain on the "old backs" which can only be a good thing.

Most of the members present made their way to the cafe for tea and toast before leaving for home around 12.00.

Thats all for today, speak to you next week.

For those who can make it, don't forget the Luncheon Club on Wednesday at the Stanley Arms after we finish sailing, I promise you, you will not be disappointed with the comfort of the place and goodness of the food!!
