Talk:  Duncan Wells is an RYA instructor and features writer for Yachting Monthly. He specialises in developing and teaching shorthanded solutions for the every day tasks of sailing couples including:

• getting off and then back onto the dock in a variety of wind and tide configurations,
• sail setting and reefing,
• picking up mooring buoys
• anchoring
•  sailing in heavy weather and
• new techniques for man overboard retrieval

I'm sure this talk will be especially useful for those new to cruising but I'm equally certain I'll learn a thing or two myself.

Supper:

Pork en croute

Fish Pie

Baked gnocchi with tomatoes, mozzarella and pine nuts

As usual the bar will be available. Please note that the CA now need to subsidise the bar if the takings are not sufficient to cover the cost of opening it so attendees are encouraged to make make full use of the facilities. (Except of course for your designated driver!)
