For the competitive "Seals" we will race around the IOW.
For the non racers we are introducing a "cruise in company" to sail together and see what the back of the IOW looks like.

We will aim to start both the race and cruise at the same time and end up in Cowes for evening drings and dinner in a local pub.
Shephards Wharf marina has been secured for Saturday night
Dinner in a local pub TBA shortly.

Everyone is welcome and look forward to seeing as many as possible.
