Restoration/Repair Project
My Scorpion’s fore deck was damaged when a visiting worker dropped something through it. The insurance would only give me the boat’s market value, which was less than the repair cost.
The boat is in reasonable condition and very enjoyable to sail.
I hope someone (apprentice at a boat yard?) would like to repair/restore this boat.
If so, please come and take it away, on its trailer – with mast, boom, rudder, sails (main, jib & spinnaker).

Subscription Renewals
In the early hours of New Year’s day, our membership system, WebCollect, auto generated renewals and emailed members the categories that are being renewed, and the method of collection.
A subsequent email seems to have caused some confusion resulting in various members duplicating their subscription order. These additional orders are being monitored and corrected as necessary.
If changes to your membership categories from last year are necessary either let David know, or login and make the necessary amendments.
If you wish to take up an option to pay for camping weekends at a discounted rate, this can be added without having to re-enter your membership categories.
If you have any queries or concerns, do not hesitate to contact us.
High Winds
It has been noticed that a Supernova has been blown off its trailer and is on its side leaning onto another boat. No obvious damage at present, but it needs lifting onto its trailer and tied down.
With the current round of high winds, pop down to the club and check your boat is secure and safe. What else is there to do at this time of year?
Happy New Year!
