Cruising & Motor Yacht Division

Race 1 - Saturday 19 November (this Saturday)
Cruisers start at Resolution at 1300hrs and Motor Yachts - Islington Bay Red Buoy at 1100hrs.

We will try and vary the destinations from those visited last season. However as always the weather is the major factor in that decision.
Following that races the prize giving will be held on the nearest and nicest beach. The signal to go ashore is seeing the coffin and provisions being ferried.

To add some hilarity to the proceedings there is to be a limerick competition. The subject to be your boat or your crew or both.
• five lines
• the first, second and fifth lines should rhyme
• the third and fourth should rhyme

So……..looking forward to a fun time and praying for good weather, see you there!
Ian Bourgeouis & Steve Burrett
