Thanks Cam

Sorry for the late notifictions, I am still awaiting one confirmation however this is what I know:

Sailing for the 28th Crew:

• Cam Rose (59) - Helmsman
• Georgette Toohey (57) - Novice, has never sailed before.  Has come out on the Couta boat 6 times.
• Michael Fels (28) - Competent sailor
• Andrew Kinsman (66) - Recreationally sailed in his youth, not sailed since and has come out on Couta 3 times
• Emmarose Kinsman (32) - Did sail training on a Minnow in her youth, not sailed since and has come out on Couta 3 times
• Max Rose (22) - novice, never sailed on any boat

Sailing for 29th Crew:

• Crew the same with the following changes
• No Max Rose sailing
• May have a ring in female (TBA) however she is a novice and it will be her first time sailing any boat

We have NO equipment or sail changes.

We will (hopefully) give the bottom a scrub tomrrow am as the boat has been in the water since early Oct this year.

We had the boat measured a few weeks ago when this was happening.

Hoping all this helps and again my sincere apologies for my delay in getting this information to you.

Looking forwrd to some decent winds and good sailing.

Thanks for your efforts to keep the sailing fair.

With appreciation & kind regards,
