Future Trips

1.1As Alan Howells will not be able to take another boat handling practice trip, Jeff Birkin has offered to replace Alan and will skipper this on the weekend of October 4 – 6. A Bavaria 36 has been booked from Liberty at Plymouth. This is fully booked and will cost £80 per person, which is now due.

1.2Phil Steele will skipper a weekend from Plymouth on October11 – 13. This will be on a Bavaria 36 from Plymouth Yacht Charter at QAB, and will cost £88 per person, which is due by September 6th.

1.3Jeff Woolmer was to skipper a weekend sail from Plymouth on August 9 – 11, but this was cancelled due to the very stormy weather. It has been rescheduled for the weekend of October 18 – 20, with the Bavaria 36 chartered from Plymouth Yacht Charter. This is fully booked and paid, and crew information has been sent to all going.

1.4A weekend trip from Plymouth was proposed for November 15 - 17, with Ian Collins and Jerzy Wieczorek available as skippers. Several members expressed interest and we would like those who can definitely make this date to confirm. If we have sufficient interest we could charter two boats, as we have two possible skippers.

2.Recent trips

Trip reports A reminder that Chris Wallace has asked for all members who provide trip reports to include the type and name of the boat, and the names of all crew, so that the reports can be completely listed and referenced on the website. Photographs sent to webmaster@bristolsailing.org.uk would also be very welcome.

At the August meeting we had a report from skipper Jerzy Wieczorek on a weekend from Plymouth, and one from Peter Wakeling on a charter from Goteborg, Sweden. We also have Julia and Chris Wallace’s July report as they sail Aremiti back from the Med to the UK. (They actually arrived in Newlyn on August 5th) This is a separate attachment for emailed newsletters. There is also a report from Bernard Smyth who joined a charter in Croatia.
