Stress Free Sailing, Duncan Wells

Bar open at 1800, meal 1845, talk 2000, finish approx. 2200

By definition couples sailing alone have to do everything for themselves. They leave the berth, set the sails, helm the boat, trim the sails, navigate, anchor, pick up mooring buoys, enter harbour, moor up and all without the help of any extra crew. So they need to carry out these manoeuvres efficiently and effectively, with as little physical effort as possible.

Afternoon meeting at the RHYC, Woolverstone. 1400. No Charge for attending.

Whichever, if you come you are likely to find what you are looking for and get some tips on making effective arrangements.

This meeting is open to everyone, including CA and RHYC members. Details of the CA Crewing Service will be available.

Lunch and bar are available from 1200
