<div style>The YMCASC Tuesday Twilights have finished for the year but we'll still be out on the water making the most of the last week of late sunshine. From next week on, it'll be a lot harder to get sailing done midweek. The shed will be open from 5pm on Tuesday evening by myself and on Wednesday evening by Alex. Alex (and Adam) will be racing on Wednesday night so won't have the time to sort any new people out, whereas I will have time on Tuesday.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style><b>2. Australian University Sailing Association Fleet Racing Regatta, Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club, Sydney, 13-15 April</b><br>Join the ANU Sailing Team training squad group for this major national student sailing event (NB: this is open to alumni). We are the current team champions and it would be good to get a team together for 2012 to keep the trophy in Canberra. Contact me or Andrew, our secretary, if you're interested. The organiser Ajay Rau says: "The NOR is now available for the first University sailing event of the year the 2012 Australian University fleet racing championships at the Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club , email me at <font color="#0066cc" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)"><a href="mailto:rauajay@gmail.com" target="_blank" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)">rauajay@gmail.com</a></font> if you want to have a look at the Notice of Race.
