Working parties
Volunteers are still required to complete preparations for the forthcoming sailing season, including preparation of the club's dinghy fleet and the Starters' Box.
Would those members who have volunteered to act as race officials please check the rota published on the club website.
Preparing a rota which suits all volunteers all of the time is an unattainable perfection and we have always relied upon the principle that every volunteer is obliged either to turn up or to arrange an appropriate exchange.
When this system breaks down, it inevitably means that racers have to be dragged kicking and screaming from the water to make up the short-fall. Murphy's Law makes this unavoidable from time to time but rarely, please.
Mystery Caption
Readers of the last Sailing Club bulletin will have been mystified by a photo caption graphically describing a stressed sailor struggling to avoid capsize and set against a photo image of a dinghy drifting along serenely - its crew at peace with the world. No mystery - simply a matter of posting the wrong image file and the correction never catching up before publication. It happens!
Power Boat Training
Three young members of Tenby Sailing Club (Ross Edwards, Alex Holt and Ryan O'Neil) came to Saundersfoot last weekend to take the RYA Power Boat Level 2 test for experienced power boat drivers. All three showed a high level of competence and were duly awarded their certificates.
