Sailing to the Dutch (or perhaps other European) inland waterways?

Are you sailing through inland waterways in Europe (eg the Netherlands, Belgium, France)?  If so, you will need an ATIS capable VHF radio with a valid ATIS code. Read more about it on the Pilotage and Navigation link on our Sailing and Cruising Resources page.

Going Foreign?  Schengen forms can be downloaded by going to the Sailing and Cruising Resources page, Pilotage and Navigation section.

Photo Album missing from Club Library

The album compiled by Brian Betts recording the combined celebration of the Club’s 40th Anniversary and Trafalgar Day in 2005, has been missing from the Club Library for several months.

If a member has borrowed it or is using it for any reason, would they please let the secretary know via the "Contact us" tab on the left or by phone.  The number is in your handbook.  We don’t want to lose track of this memento of a very special occasion.

OnWatch Deadline

The deadline for OnWatch (July) material is

Mid-day, Thursday 2nd July.

Save the Club money (postage) and manpower (printing & envelope stuffing): elect to download OnWatch from the website.  Check out your Annual Renewal which has the appropriate tickbox or use Contact Us link on the left.

Cruise Reports

The First cruise of the season was the Deben Discovery.  Unfortunately the weather has put paid to The Tollesbury Cruise as well as the one to the Crouch and Roach.  Two intrepid yachts made it all the way to Snape.  The  Lowestoft Cruise enjoyed better conditions, although the return trip was rather "lumpy".  Reports and pictures appear on the Cruise Reports link.

Sunday Morning Talk Organiser - URGENTLY NEEDED

Stan Baston has done sterling work organising the Sunday morning series of talks and producing eyecatching posters. We now need someone to take over this role.  Talks are booked for the rest of this season and will start again later in the year.  Pass the word around!
