And calling all cruiser sailors:

Hi to All Skippers,

Hopefully some of you are aware Findhorn Marina is planning a Rya informal trining event for keel boats and cruisers on the 1st/2ndOctober.

I am still at the planning stage, but the idea is for Skippers to volunteer to encourage new crews to develop skills on the passage to Findhorn from your home port, a race round the cans before entering the bay and relaxing. In the evening have a meal at the marina and some form of talk/entertainment (the marina is licensed). Then on the following day, a passage race home.

As I said I am at the planning stage so if you have better idea let me know.

The Questions I would like to ask are
  1. Are you as a skipper willing to take on crew and if so how many?
  2. Would you be willing to accommodate crew on board?
  3. As a new Skipper would you like a qualified instructor on board to give you some helpful hints/tips?
I would be greatful if you could let me know your thoughts and if you are considering taking part then the answers to the questions. This information will enable me to start planning and putting people in touch with each other.

Yours
Stewart Nairn (T.c)
