Subject: Hunter 707 Newsletter - Christmas 2004

Hi All,

Another season is over, I hope you all enjoyed your Hunter 707 sailing. Some of us did more than others.

Scottish Championships 2005 - Did you get a new diary for Christmas? Now is the time to put in the date of the 11th/12th June 2005. The 707 Scottish will be hosted by Royal Forth YC at Granton as part of their one design weekend. This is was chosen as being likely to attract a good selection of the Scottish boats, but being on different water than we usually sail.

Although they are most welcome, it is a long way for the South Coast boats to come up but there are some who would like to sail. If you are not planning to do the event or are short of crew then there are crews who would like to fill those places. In discussions with Tom Davison, he said potential crew could bring their own sails, so wear and tear (or not having the latest set) should not be an issue.

Winter Reading - This being an Olympic Year means the ISAF publish a new set of racing rules. The new rules are published on the ISAF web site, and the books will no doubt be appearing in the shops soon. Mike Harrison explained some of the changes in the last club newsletter (still available from the website, when I wrote this!).

As always feel free to circulate this around you crew. Wishing you a Happy Christmas.

Phil.
