Evening all,

Please find below some information about Plymouth Youth Sailings annual regatta. The are basically the same sort of outfit as us but run from Plymouth. it would be great to get a few of our Cadets over there and put in an appearance from Torpoint, maybe even win some prizes. if anyone would like to go just let me know pretty soon. you are welcome to use your own boats or the club ones (Visions,Feva,Toppers and Picos). I am happy to take a club safety boat and tow the boats over. I will also offer coaching through the days and be a "responsible" adult to supervise the children. let me know by e-mail or phone/text me 07515011037

cheers

Nick
