<DIV><STRONG></STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>The new Lasers are now in the boatshed however they are not insured
yet so please leave them. The new boats will become racing boats with
the older racing boats transferred to general use. The Radial rigs which come
with the new boats will be used on general use boats. This means that half
of our general use Lasers will be set up as Laser Radials which is
the womens intervarsity class.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The ANU Sailing Club open day is this Saturday 9th
October from midday. There will be a free BBQ and sailing so feel free to come
down and go for a sail. </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>It will be a good
opportunity to come back to the club and catch up so I hope to see you
there.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2>Chance to
practice rigging</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This Sunday 10th Oct at 2pm there is a beginners
course starting. The first few hours will be spent on shore learning how to rig
and going through sailing procedures on shore (launching, landing, tacking,
gybing, capsize drill). Because it is going over drills on shore it is
irrelevant how many people are present so all members are all
welcome to come down and participate (no cost). This will give you the
chance to practice rigging in case there is anything you
have forgotton. After on shore practice there is unlikely to be an
opportunity to sail because those on the course will have priority over the
boats.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><STRONG>Intermediate Course</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Andrew Sutton is going to be running two
intermediate sailing sessions from this Sunday 10th and next Sunday 17th of
October. His focus is going to be on racing to try and encourage more people to
attend inter-university and other regattas. Even if you feel like you have
forgotten everything over winter ALL of you have the skills to crew in races
</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>and some of you have already proven this at
Batemans Bay or in Twilight racing.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Basically the deal for the intermediate course is
two special sessions plus the option of attending the beginners course
Monday sessions for extra practice to improve the skills Andrew has taught
you. </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>The cost of this is $20 for ANU students and
$30 for SRA members. If you are interested send me an email so we can get
an idea of numbers. </FONT></DIV>
