Auction in aid of Disasters Emergency Committee Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal UNIQUE WANDERER SPINNAKER This unique class-measured Wanderer Spinnaker was made for founder Wanderer Class Association Chairman, Andy Peter. It has been very lightly used and is in rare, almost new condition having been not used and carefully dry/dark stored for the last fifteen years. A new Wanderer spinnaker from the boat’s manufacturer now costs £500- £600. In an eye-catching combination of pink, light green, yellow and two shades of blue, this is a special opportunity to make your boat a real head-turner on the water and to make a significant contribution to the Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal. BIDS CLOSED
The 2022 season finally kicks off next month with a two-day racing event hosted by West Oxfordshire SC over the weekend after Easter….April 23/24. Wanderer – Wayfarer Racing Weekend 22 The venue is just south of Witney and with reasonably convenient access the A34, A420, and further away, the M40 and the M4. Motorhomes and caravans can be conveniently sited at the club. I have previously circulated a Notice of Race and it is again attached to the link above. WHAT I REALLY NEED TO NOW IS…….. WHO’S COMING ? Please let me know with a brief email or complete the online form. It helps our hosts to make appropriate plans, and I need to know how many of you will be coming to the Wanderer Fleet supper at The Blue Boar at Longworth on the Saturday evening. (Menu choices will be made when you arrive on Saturday morning.)
