Yet another reminder about the Dobroyd regatta, this weekend. There'll
be racing on both days but people are very welcome to turn up just for
one day.

Hopefully we can fit in course racing, slalom and freestyle, and the
first short races for new sailors and kids on 4.5s and 3.5s.

If there's anything I can do to help get you afloat, call me on 0405
