Peter Lidiard and myself have received the draft NOR to read through and comment.

It seems that the organizing committee has got everything under control and that the final NOR will soon be published.

A reminder that our Provincials are schedule for 22 to 24 September. The Regatta will be sailed out of Aeolians North Bay Vaal Dam.

The NOR will be ready for NSA sanction next week and I will distribute it soon after.

I really had to smile when we parked an Oppie and a Dabbie on the Ocean Sailing academy site at the Boatshow.(Thanks OSA)On the one side of the stand was a motorboat valued at R500K and on the other Wetbikes at only R157,000  !!!! Across the way was a Pacer 27 towering over most of the boats on show. I also saw a strong Hobie contingent in attendance.

 Our sailors took it in turns to man the stall and talk to people about the sport we love. It is amazing how many old Dabbie sailors come out of the woodwork, some even as old as me.Thanks to the ethusiasm of our sailors I am sure that we will receive many enquiries. I will post some pictures soon.

The Dabchick class will be joining up with the Optimist sailors from the 17 th of August till the 19th to exhibit a Brand new Dabchick belonging to Julian Wertheim Aymes . A comprehensive Brochure explaining the benefits of Youth Sailing in Gauteng has been drawn up and hopefully we will be able to draw some new recruits.
