Sabre
Training Day
Cleveland
Yacht Club on Saturday 28 August – the attached
flyer
has the details.
If you have trouble opening the flyer or have further
questions, please email me.
Registration: to register for the training day, send
an email to Susan Hextell, shextell@webone.com.au,

Measurement
Day
the first for the season, will be held on Sunday 29
August also at CYC. This day is intended for the
outgoing Measurer to hand over the "tape"
to the new measurer, make a start on measuring boats
and have follow-up discussions on the previous days
training. As there are a number of boats to be measured
(they can't be all done in one day), we need to create
a program of where and when boats will get measured.
Boats going to the Nationals or States will get
first priority and those that have not been measured
before. All boats sailing in Sabre events at least need
to have their sails and foils measured each year. If
you need your boat measured help us prepare a program
by emailing the following information to jscampbell6@hotmail.com
by 15 August:
Your boat number
Are you going to the Nationals or States?
Do you have a measurement certificate?
Do you need foils and sail measured this season?
Additional measuring can be done at a later date at
Humpybong, RQYS and Maroochy if necessary.

General

and CYC have winter races both days this weekend –
so join in with either if you can – details on
respective club websites.

Calendar
The
recent AGM included discussion of the 2010-11 calendar.
Progress with the calendar has been positive –
see calender for details.
I have included links to club/event websites where I
can.
When the training day details are finalised, a flyer
will be sent round. As future dates are confirmed a
revised version will be sent and published on the QSSA
website.
To assist preparations by the Qld contingent going to
the Nats in Adelaide, we are including the HumpyBash
weekend (open water experience) and the States in November
(timed as a pre-Nats peak).
Thank you to the CYC for hosting our States this coming
season. I hope we can make it a BIG weekend.
