This year the RYA have created a new level in the Adult Sailing Scheme: Level 3 Better Sailing The aim of this new level is to build on those skills gained in the Level 1 & 2 course and to give a taste of the advanced modules. Many people are put off the further levels as they are termed “advanced” perhaps feeling that they could not describe themselves as advanced sailors. However that is where Level 3 Better Sailing comes in. Sunday 28th February saw the second working party of the year, and with monsoon conditions and widespread flooding across the site, everyone was welcome of some indoor work. After 3 days, the clubhouse renovations were complete. Nick Jones took a number of photographs which can be seen on the gallery. Could members please ensure that their membership forms and duty request forms are returned to the Marston Moretaine address printed on the membership form. A small number of renewals have been sent to the Dunstable address found on the Duty Request form. While your renewal will be successfully processed regardless of the address sent to, the Dunstable address may result in a delay of up to 5 days while your form is held before being taken to the club every Sunday. Gerry Howcroft has posted a report on this year’s visit to Milton Keynes Sailing Club on February 7th 2010. Along with Simon Witham, the club was represented by the demonstration Tasar which performed well in a strong field. Photographs courtesy of Milton Keynes Sailing Club are also available. Eight boats took the water in conditions much windier than forecast on Sunday 14th February. It was to be a Phantom 1 & 2 with new member Ian Sullivan taking honours in both races. The course and race management was provided by Karl Pountney and support boat by Tim Browning and Duncan Wilson. Thanks also to Dave Grummitt, Chris Janes and Steve Ivory who hung around just long enough to be given something to do. Please take a look at the results and then the duty list if you’ve yet to sign-up.
