Rules Night was attended by only 10 people! Do we think we all know the rules, and need not attend? John Rountree clarified several common right of way issues on the night. If you were not there, be very sure of yourself next time if it gets busy at the top mark! A reminder that an annual rules night is stipulated in our association rules.

Steinlager2, Rum race Any starters for a rum race aboard Steinlager2 ? She is back in the water, and looking great after a complete refit, in original racing trim, and set up for charter. We need 25 or more to make it a starter, there will be a cost, but probably no more than you might spend on a good bottle of rum. Contact Charles if interested, we will try and get the numbers for sometime in the new year.
