We have a number of evening events planned whilst the nights are still fairly long:
Friday 1 March – Anna Gebruk (Tyche) will be talking about Walruses in Spitzbergen
Friday 29 March – Paul Taylor (Hirta) and David Cox (Moonshine) on sailing from Puerto Rico to Scotland
All talks will be at Trinity Bowling Club. Doors open at 7 for 7:30 start.
We will start the New Year with a workshop to discuss the forthcoming sailing season and also to discuss harbour issues including the impact of Storm Babet and the 2024 lift-in (including lessons learned from lifting boats out with masts up).
This will be on Saturday 13th January in the Bell Block. The programme will be:
1130 Introduction and discussion of sailing programme – briefing by Sailing Secretary
1200 Impact of Storm Babet and improving resilience – briefing by harbour team
1245 Lift in and lessons learned – briefing by harbour team
1300 onwards – harbour work party and yard cleanup
Please come along and join in – a lot of work goes into both the sailing programme and the harbour activities and we should recognise the efforts that are made on our behalf.
Ahoy Corinthians!
It’s not long now until the always eagerly awaited FCYC Christmas Party and Prizegiving!
6:30pm on Saturday 9th December at Trinity Bowling Club,
Lomond Road, Edinburgh
After the prizegiving there will be a raffle, food, party games, and of course our ever popular FCYC Christmas Song. And the bar is open till 11pm!
It’s time now to think about the coming season’s sailing programme. Last year’s pre-season meeting helped me a lot to set up the programme, which I hope you all enjoyed. For this reason, I would like to hold another meeting this year to see how you felt it went and what changes you might like to make to improve it.
Items I would like to discuss, include:
Long vs. short races
Length of series races
Race courses
Race Officer duties
Publishing of results and handicap adjustments
Wednesday evening coaching sessions
WhatsApp group communications
Joint RFYC/FCYC events
Sailing on Coronation day
Cruising in Company programme
To this end, I’ll be hosting a gathering in the Bell Block on Saturday 21st January at 11:00a.m to which you are all invited. The more of you who can manage it, the better the feedback. I hope to see as many of you there as possible.
