- Help this weekend...
As many of you are aware the committee boat,
PIG, has lived up to it name and caused us a problem,
the rudder has broken off and we need to get it ashore
for repair.
The next tide that is suitable is the weekend Aug 11 &
12th if we can have volunteers for Sat 11th at 0800 to
get the trailer on the beach and the boat floated on.
Failing that tide then Sunday 12th at 0800 to have a
second try. There is an urgency to get the repair done
ASAP as the RS300 nationals start at Hunstanton on Sept
6th, helpers please for this prestige event at our club.
All
replies please for help to Ian 01485 571146 or
