Future Trips

1.1Alan Howells will skipper a weekend from Plymouth on July 20 – 22 with an overnight sail on the Friday night to Falmouth, to give two new members night sailing experience. This is now fully booked and the full payment of £206 is now due as we have paid the full charter fee for a Hanse 385.

1.2Alan will also skipper a long weekend from Plymouth to Tréguier on Thursday August 30th – Monday September 3rd. This is now fully booked and a first payment of £50 is now due.

1.3Some members have asked for a boat handling training trip. Gordon Ogden has said he may be able to skipper one in October. Will anyone who would like to join such a trip please let Jock know.

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 May meeting we had reports from Alex Barry of a weekend sail from Plymouth, and from Bob Buchanan on a Lymington to Poole weekend. Chris Watts was unable to be at the May meeting but sent a report of his familiarisation sail on PYC’s new yacht ‘RelaX of Phoenix’. This is a mandatory sail for all Phoenix skippers before they may sail the new boat. These three reports follow:
