arrange a tuition session on racing, please let Helen

us know.
Instruction:We have arranged for an instructor from H2O Water Sports
to be available on the Wednesday and Thursday afternoon to coach members
on topics of their choice. This will be paid for out of Seavets funds.
Harbour Cruise: Norman Haddon will lead a cruise on Tuesday or
Wednesday, depending on weather. Meeting will be at Sandbanks at 10.00
ready to sail at 11.30 ( parking charge guide above). Lunch will be at
the café at Hamworthy at 12.45 to 14.00 followed by a sail back
around the islands, arriving back at Sandbanks at 15.15. Timing will be
