CNCE

NAV-LETTER

Nov '19

Dear sailor friends,

The sailing season is not over! For those who cannot get enough of the sea and would like to enjoy some winter sailing, we have put together an off-season programme to make sure you and our lovely BlueOne can keep sailing during the upcoming months. The racers among you can join the monthly Goofies race until April 2020.

As for the dinghy sailor, you might want to take a winter break but you can already look forward to next-year's Golden Gaff, which will take place on Lake Balaton, Hungary, in September 2020.

If you are more inclined to stay indoors, why not visit our theory courses to learn some more "stuff" in preparation for your next sailing trip? However, if all this does not fit into your busy pre-Christmas schedule, why not join us at the December Nav'Apero just to chill out after work?

You will find all the details below and - as usual - on our website and Facebook page.

Last but not least, it is now time to have your say and shape the CNCE sailing programme 2020!


We are deeply saddened to inform you that long-standing and much respected CNCE skipper George-Eric te Kolsté has passed away. Our heart goes out to his family in these difficult times.
