Hi sailors, <div><br></div><div>It looks like some of our fleet going to Batemans Bay this weekend, so if you keen to participate please contact Adam - Thursday morning is a deadline because all the boats for a trip are usually loaded on trailers on Thursday afternoon. </div>
<div><br></div><div>There will be still a plenty of vessels left in the shed (at least 5 lasers, 1 taser, laser II and 2 cats) so if there is an interest I can set up social races on one of the days. </div><div><br></div>
<div><b>Saturday. </b></div><div>I'll open the shed not later than 12.00. If there is enough interest we'll make a social race (start at 13.00). Please send me a message if you're keen to come and race or just take a boat out for a recreational sail, so I'd have some idea about coming numbers and what to do. I probably will be doing some boat maintainable before and after the race so if someone wants to give me a hand, you're more than welcome. </div>
<div><br></div><div><b>Sunday.</b> </div><div>Most probably I'll open the shed from 13.00. I'm not planning to organise any races but if there is enough number of people who are keen to compete we could set up a course. Please contact me if you're interested. </div>
<div><br></div><div><b>Coming events. </b></div><div>Next weekend - working bee: boat and shed preparation for the Regatta. </div><div>I suggest that we have some social races on Saturday 12.00-14.00 and then we'll have the Bee and BBQ. If someone comes up with a better plan, please send to me a message. </div>
<div><br></div><div><b>Mosquito sailing.</b> </div><div>I'm wondering if someone wants to sail a Mosquito with me in the Regatta as a front helm (jib control and trapeze). Mosquito is a fast catamaran with the same yardstick as a 49'er (84.00) and therefore they'll be in the same division and we won't need to wait for a yardstick corrected time to estimate our performance. </div>
<div>I want from this man to commit to do at least two training sessions with me (this and next weekends preferable) and then to be committed to devote at least 4 hours of his or her time for the races on every of the three regatta days. </div>
