Dear Cadets and Parents,

I would like to invite keen sailors (and well behaving parents if keen) to the next Sailor’s Meeting this Friday 28/Sept 2018.
Meeting upstairs in the club house.
With decent starts, good windward speed our team is getting close to the the stage where it makes sense to talk about advanced sailing skills, like mark rounding.

I hope to see you there

Kind regards: Andras
