Sea Fair, The Captain's Handbook

Yesterday my copy of the Captain's Handbook for the Sea Fair arrived. It's getting nearer so ensuring the re-fitting and training on Shoestring is finished is getting more important!

In the guide is the information and details on the events being organised and also the "how, who and when" information for Skippers and also timetables and charts for the events.
