  • AGM held on 28 Nov 2020 on Zoom. 37 members attended.
  • 2020 Sail Programme decimated reducing income to 25% of expected figure.
  • A tentative 2021 Programme published on website. We are not taking firm bookings at this time but expressions of interest (EOI) may be lodged with the sail Organisers.
  • 2021 Summer Cruise will go ahead but area dependent on CoVid and Brexit. Last year’s skippers to be offered first refusal but all may submit EOI.
  • CSD remains solvent due to CSSA not asking for boat loan repayment.
  • New boat delayed to end of 2021 if funds allow.2020 Committee re-elected so all contact details remain the same.
  • 7 Motions to amend the CSD Constitution agreed by meeting. 1 to 6 will be incorporated but No 7 (Membership) delayed to allow CSSA GC to discuss and ensure alignment with other offshore divisions.
  • Post-AGM Committee meeting:Agreed Zoom meeting went well and format may be retained for future meetings. Will consider CSD social gathering in lieu.
  • Boat Handling and Sail Trim courses to be combined into Boat Handling Under Sail and Power (experience shows that content is always dependent on weather).
  • Need to re-emphasise that Sea Times are for member’s to gain experience in all aspects of sail cruising.
  • Day Sails for members in addition to CSSC Taster Days and Group Day Sails to be considered, contact Day Sail Organiser if interested.
