We need a volunteer to coordinate the Turkey Trot Feast on 14 October. The Feast is a celebration of our club spirit, to close the sailing season. Its a turkey + trimmings lunch prepared by members. The hungry sailors of the Turkey Trot race greatly appreciate the meal. Also need volunteer cooks to help. Contact…
Weeknight racing starts 15 minutes earlier from 1 September 2019, as specified in the sailing instructions. This is our usual shift as the evenings become shorter.

Two of the most entertaining NSC events go on the same weekend in mid-August: Midnight Madness evening of August 16, and Harbourmaster’s Race August 17. And wait, there’s more! More boating events in August, that is.
