With the cruisers having swapped places with the dinghies can i remind you of the standard Marina Etiquette for all Halyards to be fastened away from the mast. This will ensure a more peaceful boatpark without the clanging and continue the goodwill from our neighbours.

many thanks

On behalf of Bob Crane and myself a big thank you to Peter Thompson and Steve Hopper for their invaluable help between 00:15 and 04:00 last Saturday bringing some of the Cruisers as well as the committee boat onto the shore ready for the cranes to lift out. As well as being hard work it was a joy to work with them both. I personally learnt from Peter how valuable a stern line can be as well as receiving a  fantastic fully clothed swimming lesson.

A sincere thanks very much guys. Wayne & Bob.
