Future Trips

1.1Alan Howells will skipper a weekend from Plymouth on April 13 – 15. This is fully booked and paid, and all arrangements made with the crew.

1.2Alan is also skippering a cruise from Plymouth to south Brittany in May, for ten days from Friday May 11th to Sunday 20th. The Bavaria 36 has been chartered from Plymouth Sailing School and will be available on the afternoon of Thursday May 10th. The charter cost is £2000 so the individual cost will be £333 with six on board or £400 with five (one place is provisionally booked at present). As this is just over a month away we have to pay the full charter fee soon, so we are asking for a first payment now of £200; the balance (either £133 or £200) will be payable once the crew is finalised.

1.3Jeff Woolmer will skipper a weekend from Plymouth on a Bavaria 34 on June 1st – 3rd. there are two places still available for this. Please contact Jock if you would like to take one of these places.

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.

At the March meeting we had reports of sailing in February, from Gordon Ogden who skippered ‘Quartette’ for a midweek sail, and from Jeff Woolmer on a weekend from Plymouth.
