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.

2023 Sailing Season Programme Meeting
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.

Sailing Sec.
