a great opportunity to have an early season get together. As an extra
incentive there will be a free beer for the first 20 attendees.

Ruffian Lift-In
The
Ruffian made it back to it's mooring on Thursday May 12. Thanks to
Damien, Peter, Aidan, Keith, Noel and everyone else who helped to
get the boat ship-shape
Ruffian Re-fit
This
winter two new forward berths were fitted in the Ruffian cabin and a new chart
table. The boat can now sleep 4 for overnights, and you can all practice those
navigation skills on the new table. There were also new masthead lights and an
electronic windex fitted in case it's dark and you
can see were the wind is. We plan to organise more weekend trips away so you
will have the chance to play with all these new toys.
Carlingford Trip - June Bank
Holiday Weekend
After
last years ventures to Wicklow & Arklow,
there will be an expedition North to Carlingford
and various ports of call on the East coast on the upcoming holiday
weekend (June 2-3-4). Please contact Damien if you are interested.

Training
You
can claim a e50 rebate on your membership fee if you
complete a Powerboat or VHF training course. Every member of the club should
have a powerboat cert, and anyone who sails on the Ruffian should do the VHF
course.
Membership
We
currently have 42 members, which is roughly the same at this stage last
year. May & June are our busiest months for new members so spread the word.
Remember you can bring your friends down for a guest session for only e20 if
they would like to try sailing. If you can promote the club in any way e.g. workplace
poster, please do.
