Yachting Club
Lottery results, Fleet launch
The Lottery for places in this season’s sailing courses was held a while back; results thrilled some people but disappointed many more. Yes, as usual, more candidates tried than there are places available but don’t despair: there is still a lot to do in your Club and dedicated sailors can secure skipper-rights fairly easily within a couple of months of practice. Successful students will be told more about their class soon, reminded about the need (or otherwise) for a wetsuit and invited to start practising knots already: you learn proportionate to the effort you put into it!
The season really starts up when we launch the fleet, Saturday 14 April at Port Choiseul from 9:00 a.m. - Gijs will shortly be soliciting those owners of trailer-hooks (preferably attached to the car) willing to help transport the fleet from CERN. Our Gipsy, in Kirill’s picture, remained in the water (or ice) throughout and will welcome cleaning and some TLC. There is plenty to do at the Launch; turn up, meet your friends; newcomers, learn all about the boats, where they are moored or parked, how to rig and feel free to ask any questions of members. Refreshments provided too!
