Zeeland 2012 cruise update
Planning and organisation continues for the cruise to Zeeland. Here’s an updated itinerary together with notes on the terrific venues we have found for the three functions we have planned. There is also an interactive google map for you with links to the various ports we will be visiting. And there are some pictures as well.
The itinerary has been slightly re-jigged as follows:
Chartering and crewing Zeeland 2012
Skippers who are planning to charter may want to investigate charter companies in Ostend or Vlissingen. Those interested in doing this should contact the organisers here where they can be put in touch with other skippers planning to charter. This also applies to those who need or want to be delivery crew.
Charts and regulations Zeeland 2012
Skippers should ensure that they have the correct charts for the entire cruise and that they are aware of the national regulations for the waters that they will be sailing in. The Little Ship Club cannot take any responsibility for skippers who do not adhere to local regulations. Nothwithstanding this, here are some pointers to help you on your way.

Due partly to his preference for a flip chart rather than any form of screen projection he was able to get himself organised within those limited minutes.
