MOA Social - Lechlade April '22

Submitted by quentin.sands on

This was a hugely enjoyable gathering of MOA members - some with boats - over the last weekend in April by the Thames in Lechlade. There was a lot of chatting and sharing and, before a grand dinner at the Riverside Inn, a riveting talk by Richard Kerswell outlining his sail around Britain in Pegasus, his 26M. Outgoing Commodore Simon Armitage then presented Richard with the Janita Shield awarded to Richard for his seamanship and achievements last summer.

You can now buy things through this web site!

 

We're pleased to announce that we have created a simple shop on the web site, specifically for members.

It's quite limited at the moment, but you can order one of the new-style burgees. You can find it under Members area -> Stuff to buy, or click here. There's more about how we hope to expand it in future on that page, so please have a look.

You may well have used, or at least be aware of, the Coastguard CG66 scheme. This was a form you filled in with details of you and your boat, as well as contact numbers of next of kin, and submitted to the MCGA. This provided the Coastguard and rescue services with important information about you and your boat in the event that you got into trouble.

Whitehaven to Isle of Windermere

My own Big Mac adventure was something of a fail. My crew and I left Whitehaven at high water, 630am on Monday 6th August, but struggled from the start with a F4 wind that was coming directly from the Isle of Man. I hoped that we might close haul in a westerly direction but under sail could only hold a course NNW and didn't fancy the Galloway ports. We started to motor into wind over tide but it was very uncomfortable with a fair amount of rolling and slamming and general discomfort.

New web site feature ...

... you can add a login for a second person sharing your membership.

We have for a long time accepted two names on one membership (spouses, partners, sailing buddies, whatever). We have also allowed both people to have their own individual logins for the web site, but it's required an administrator (i.e. me!) to set it up.

Now, you can add a second login yourself. The second person must have their own email address, and to add them do the following:

New feature - knowledge base

Forums: 

Hello all

I've added a new feature to the web site called Knowledge Base (this is not the forum section with the same name, but something new).

You can get to it from the Resources menu, and you must be logged in to see it.

It's a hierarchical index, in the same style as the User Guide, and is another way of getting to the most useful pages that are already on the site. So I haven't written lots of new pages (!), but provided a better way of getting to the most useful stuff that's already there.
