WHYW 2022

Aye, it appears to be happening and Marisca is entered. One wee problem, a lack of winch fodder to do the work. The crew consists of 2 septuagenarians (1 trying to recover from C19 but Scottish Champion in the YW 14' Dayboat in 1963) and an awfy good bowman that ignores the afterguard totally (as he should). So, what we need is a couple of winch-winders, clutch operators, sheet fiddlers to fill the gap.
The excellent WHYW website Crewfinder page has 1 entry from 3 years ago, my Yacht Club (if it can be called that as no proper yachts actually race, just plastic day-boats) has no-one interested and all the previous suspects would love to, but .......
Why not volunteer, or, as most of the denizens of these fora are coffin dodgers, volunteer your children? WHYW used to be a lot of fun and a huge amount of effort is going into this year's event with return of the Kerrera party, bands at Dunstaffnage, etc. It's an event that should be on every sailors bucket list!
