R Class open day for P Class and junior sailors

Have a go on an R Class on Saturday April 9th at NPCL

NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT

AND FUN

Details of times etc to be finalized

They're fun, they're fast and you can have a go.

(Obviously with the experienced r-class guys themselves – they are not silly enough to let you loose by yourself)

please contact us or phone Joanne Glassford on 339-0318 for more details

Our thanks to Joanne for making this happen!
