ZVYC News 28 November 2014
Dear Sailors and Friends,
This weekend at the club;
Sorry, no Big Screen Rugby this weekend. In spite of what we said last week, there will be no rugby being shown this weekend as the Club is hired out for a private function.
While on the subject of Club Hire, we are about to enter our very busy period for Club hiring, which will carry through to April next year. Only the kitchen and downstairs and sometimes the grounds are hired out.
When the Club is hired out, it is not closed for members – the Upper deck is available and the outside toilets, you can still sail, but we ask you to respect the Club’s clients and their functions, as the income from this source is substantial and assists us with our budget.
Last round of Spring Series is this Sunday 30 November and racing starts at 10h30 the format has been variable depending on the consensus of the skippers and the weather. The overall positions in this series carry through as a one race score in the Sunsail Club Championships next year
Junior Training will carry on as usual it is a big group with newcomers enjoying their training and we are now thrilled to have 3 Dabchicks on our training course.
In the pipeline:
Alfred’s Social evening: Set aside Friday the 12th Dec when Alfred’s are having a social evening starting with drinks at the Upper Deck from 17h30 followed by a presentation by Tommy Brummer a foremost town planner on the Cape Town CBD future developments, Rochelle will be serving a Lasagna & salads supper. It should be a very enjoyable evening that I am looking forward to attending.
Last Club Racing Day this year will be Sunday 7th Dec with many many events taking place during the School Hols; Mirror Worlds, Youth Nationals, Sonnet Nationals, Crocs Regatta, etc etc.

Email received re Andy sailing – could be of interest
Hello Anna
Does anyone sail Andy’s any more?
I have an Andy with fibreglass hull (needing repair), together with all fittings, spars, sails (main, jib, spinnaker), rigging, and including an original 1966 Andy Handbook giving full construction details. I am willing to give this all away to anyone who can make use of it.
Perhaps you would be kind enough to put this e-mail on your notice board.
With regards
Clive Thorpe
