Dear Parents,

I had a two last minute requests from parents, who are looking for a Pico for their cadets to sail with on cadet week.

I would also be grateful for a couple of spare main sails and jibs, we have a boat offered, but her sails are not available (owner abroad).

If you have a boat which is not being sailed by cadets and you would be willing to offer it, please email or ring me.

Borrowing a Pico is not associated with high risks, nevertheless I feel that such agreement should be directly made by the parties on a basis that if damage occurs, it will be rectified.

Thanks very much:

Kind regards:

Andras

Last Sunday after finishing the Sprint 15 Open, I unfortunately misplaced my Downhaul.

It was on the boat when I took the sail down, therefore I lost it somewhere between the beach and the dinghy park.

If you found it I would appreciate if you would let me know as it is a surprisingly expensive part and required to sail the boat.

It is very similar to the one in the attach photo.

Thanks. Paul Morgan 07741 201052.

Clipper Round the World Yacht Race finishes later this afternoon / evening off Southend Pier, very much worth a watch as they come up the Estuary, they are off the suffolk Coast at Aldeburgh this morning.

Some may have noticed that there is an early start for Sail Training and Racing this Saturday. So Dave and his team will be in from 08:00 to take orders and serve Breakfasts, Breakfast Sandwiches and Baguettes.

Knowing that you maybe busy in Training Rooms or preparing boats, if you can come and order when you arrive then Daves team will be happy to deliver freshly cooked Sandwiches and Baquettes to Training Rooms and the Dinghy Park when it is ready. What could be easier!

Why go sailing on an empty stomach?

The Petal Plate trophy race is a mass start, general handicap race – all boats sail the same course and distance.
