The club held its AGM face to face this November and recorded a good attendance with some members being able to zoom in - this is useful option for meetings when members are far flung. The winter program is underway. We have started racing on the Mersey with Liverpool Yacht Club, this is an opportunity to practice skills rather than for trying to break records. The sailing in January and February is called the Brass Monkey series and it will be cold! You can sign up now on the booking page at https://www.5ksc.org.uk/ booking.php In the spring there is a further Start Yachting course in Liverpool over the weekend 5-6 March 2022. If you know people who are interested in learning the basics please tell them about this. This winter there will be some shore based RYA courses, the next one on Diesel engines will be on 23/1/22. Others depend on people expressing an interest so please drop a line to training@5ksc.org.uk We can organise Radar and VHF as well as a further Diesel engine course. There is one more First Aid course on 29 January 2022 – why not check to see if yours needs updating (the certificate last three years). Ynot will be lifted out of the water in early March for a scrub and checkup, if you want to get up close to the action please volunteer for the maintenance team via Colin: atkinsoncolin575@gmail.com he may even let you join the bad jokes group! The program for 2022 is almost complete with Ynot going to Scotland on 6/5/22.
There may be further opportunities for gaining miles, night hours and long passages for RYA qualifications please get in touch if interested.
