A Good Book
If you are at all interested in the theory of sailing a good book is "The Physics of Sailing Explained" by Bryon D Anderson - it is a paperback only about a centimetre thick that explains how the hull, keel and sails work plus some of the physics of weather for sailors.

Defibrillator - A reminder to members that if anyone should be unfortunate enough to have a heart attack at the club, we have a defibrillator that is kept in the race box. It is very easy to use and you are encouraged to look at a short YouTube video on its operation here so that you are prepared in the event that one of your fellow members needs it.
