<div class="gmail_quote">Hi sailors, <div><br></div><div><b>Passed working bee.</b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div>Thank you very much to those few people who turned up for the working bee last weekend. Even with such a small number of bees we've done a great job. </div>
<div>Change rooms are now as clean as they've never been before (thanks Graham and Kathy). <br clear="all">We cleaned the kitchen, prepared the entresol above the change rooms for camping, swept the shed floor. Graham got lamp tubes to replace inside the shed and bulbs for outside illumination, we just need to find a good high ladder to reach the ceilings.</div>
<div><br></div><div><b>Boat matters</b> </div><div> </div><div>1. So far 4 lasers 2 tasars and mosquito cat are ready for the races. </div><div>They all have now unique sail numbers (please find attached pdf) and the rig is checked except for Rear Ache (needs to be tested by Rehan), and Clementine (to be checked by Frances). So far everyone who expressed their interest to participate in the regatta is happy with the boat allocation displayed in the attached pdf-file. Whoever wants to protest, please, protest now for it has to be solved by the 20th of April - Early Bird registration deadline. </div>
<div><br></div><div>2. Recherche laser is in a critical condition, mast step is worn out till the very bottom. It's currently on the racks and it shouldn't be used in the near future or at all (the council of boat specialists will decide what to do). </div>
<div><br></div><div>3. We put Pumpkin back on a dolly but a sanding around her edges needs to be done before use. </div><div><br></div><div><b>4. People do not participating in the Regatta, please, avoid using Race I, Race II, Clementine, Dundee, Greysar, if there are other boats available. Let them go to the Regatta in the condition they are now. </b></div>
<div><br></div><div><b>Regatta registration.</b></div><div>We'll discuss details tonight at the committee meeting and we'll let you to know ASAP. </div><div><br></div><div>If more people want to join on that stage they should make their own arrangements (prepare boats, check sail numbers, make sure that your sail number is different to all the boats from the list, if someone causes disqualifications because of not unique sail numbers he'll be punished severely) from that point on I will do only urgent repairs (if they required) for the boats which are currently in the list. </div>
