Aberdour Cruise in Company Update

 

The weather forecast for Saturday 22nd June is looking good for our trip. We have at the moment 13 boats registered to take part. There will be a briefing at 1200hrs, skippers please attend! If anyone else wants to join either the cruise or the race please let me know asap, I need to let our hosts know in order to manage berthing arrangements. ABC is kindly lending us their gas BBQ grill so please BYOB and food.
I’m looking forward to another great day, see you all on Saturday.

First Cruise in Company – 18th May

Our first Cruise in Company is scheduled to take place on the 18th May. Our destination is the Dalgety Bay S.C. Our hosts have been very generous and are offering us the use of the facilities in their club house including the bar and wonderful terrace. We will require to anchor in the bay and DBSC will supply a shuttle service using their RIBs to run us to and from our boats. 

We will depart at 0930hrs and have a leisurely sail/motor to DB. Rob Garner, a past member of DBSC, will chair a briefing in the Bellblock at 0900hrs. Please contact FCYC if you intend to come along and haven’t already done so.

 Let’s hope for a good turnout and nice weather.

Mo’s Travels

Congratulations to intrepid Forth Corinthian, Morag Edward, who has successfully sailed the Atlantic.  She left Cascais in Portugal on 18th September on The Europa, a tall ship training vessel and landed in Puerto Madryn in Patagonia on 17th November 2022.

Mo is still in Puerto Madryn, where she has resumed her artistic career and is busy painting the local penguins, who are very happy to pose. Mo, who speaks Spanish has recently taken part in a local art fair. 

She is hoping to move to Buenos Aires in April, but is tempted to return to Puerto Madryn in September to see the enormous Right Whales congregate in the bay for the breeding season.

What an adventure.  Well done Mo.

Lift Out 2019

Ahoy Corinthians, just a reminder that lift out is set for Saturday 19th October.

Could all boat owners please let me know ASAP what there intentions are for the winter and lift out so the harbour guys can organise the yard etc. Do you want to have your boat in the yard, leave on the pontoon for winter sailing or other arrangements etc.

Andy Gunn – Harbour Sec.

This Weeks Sailing – Commodore’s Regatta – Postponed

Weather reports showing uncertain wind conditions together with a general lack of confirmed participants would suggest that this event is postponed.  The event will now be run on Saturday 6 October with a start time of 12 noon and the seasons wash up meeting at 2pm.
================================================================
Just a reminder that this Saturday is the last organised outing of the season – the Commodore’s Closing Regatta/Parade of Sail.
 
The rules are as for the White Sail Series with a start time of 15:00. Race will be about an hour long.
There will be briefing at 14:00hrs and a season’s de briefing after the race around 16:30hrs
Weather dependant there will be a BBQ, so bring your own food and drink.
This event is really suitable for all who like to play on the water so please come along, join in and give our outgoing Commodore a fantastic send off.
If anyone cannot make the sailing, please come along at 16:30hrs for a season’s de brief, so we can hear comments to organise what we do next year..
Hope to see as many as possible on Saturday.
