20th February   Advanced Sailing Couse This year we are planning to hold some advanced courses beyond RYA Level 2 which is the level achieved at the end of our Start Sailing course.
The advanced course is for those who can already sail, but require more time and skills to feel confident sailing on their own without instruction. We ran a course last year and those on it very much appreciated the newly acquired knowledge it brought.
To get some idea what the course covers, go to the RYA web site and look up Level 3 and Seamanship Skills.
If you are interested and would like to know more, please get in touch with Tony Turnbull Sail Training Officer tonyt @ cherry-lyn.demon.co.uk.
5th February   February Winter Talk Thursday 9th February. Surveying Wooden, Classic and Modern Yachts by Kathy Kilbey. Start 7.30 for 8.00.

There will be lots of photos of other boats she has surveyed, and the focus will be on the yachts rather than the intricacies of surveying. A poster can be viewed here
