The editorial team of Bear Essentials would like to compile and publish in the newsletter a list of boats and owners moored at the club so that we can get to know each other a little better. We have decided to do this on a pontoon by pontoon basis, starting arbitrarily on L pontoon as that is where my boat is.

 

We would like your permission to extract details from the club pontoon records / handbook or invite you to submit your own entry. If you don’t want owners details mentioned then we will respect your confidentiality. The format would be something like that below:

 

Pontoon Berth  / Boat name (including explanation if unusual) / Boat type / construction date / owner(s) / usage.

 

For example for my boat this would be: L24, “Jonah”, Beneteau First 35 yacht, 1979, Owners Geoff Parr and Stewart Cokeley. Raced locally and in occasional regattas elsewhere. Cruise Bristol Channel, Ireland, Scotland and South Coast in summers.

 

You could add anything you think relevant, subject to space and editorial policy. Could you advise me of your consent or otherwise, and submit entries either via the office addressed to Bear Essentials or via geoff.parr@gmail.com. Please respond by 15th Feb to meet our next publication deadline.   Geoff Parr
