Hi Chris (Nikki?)

Unfortunately I was unable to complete the June keelboat course this weekend due to no wind and some participants being unwell or having other commitments.

I did however manage to get Vinni Chapman back from the last course to finish up and Sergey Makushynski also completed. Both are eligible for their certificates on the 25th June 23.

Sabastian, Fabian and Lisa need to return to complete one if not 2 more sessions, man overboard and sail a course. Unfortunately I'm not available now until mid August and won't be using that piece of shit again until it's fixed anyway, as per my previous email. I'm not sure if you can finish these guys up now?

I hope my previous email has put the cat amongst the pigeons so they spend some money on that pile of shit and you don't have to put up with the same crap I have for over 4 years. I know Louise will bitch like shit but she has had ample opportunity to push this as a safety issue if nothing else. My certificate is coming up for renewal soon and I just don't know if it is worth doing unless the Club is going to take this stuff seriously. We aren't talking a lot of money to fix this boat up, probably not even the cost of one floating dock.

Kind Regards,

Nick
