Ahoy Corinthians, this year’s Anstruther Harbour Festival & Muster is on 30th May – 1st June.
Steve Blaney has asked that we post the attached information and circulate it to yacht owners in the club. For more details, berthing, etc, contact Steve at steveblaney@hotmail.co.uk or mobile: 07885 661101.
I believe there is no clash with any cruises in company though obviously the 2025 sailing programme is not yet finalised.
You will all have seen the red weather warning issued for Friday 24th January with southwesterly then westerly winds gusting at 80mph+ forecast.
If you have a boat on the pontoon please ensure that your lines are well in place, and in both our yards check that you have tied down anything loose (particularly inflatables). We will be strongly discouraging access to the yard and pontoon tomorrow and club boats should not be used.
Stay safe!
We were sad to lose another of our members in the Christmas period. Angus MacInnes, part-owner of Castellar, died after a long illness on December 23rd surrounded by friends and family.
Angus was well known as an actor, notably as “Dutch” Vander (Gold Leader) in Star Wars.
An obituary of him appeared on the BBC website on 31st December.
