6 www.oystermarine.com Newsroundup NEARLY THERE! The Oyster 62, Carpe Diem, owned by Keith and Rosemary Hamilton set out from Palma after taking part in the Oyster Regatta in September 2004. This September will see them complete their circumnavigation as they return to Palma for this year’s event and we look forward to celebrating their achievement with them when they sail into Real Club Nautico. Windboats Celebrate 25 Years Building Oysters To mark their 25th anniversary of building Oyster yachts, Trevor James of Windboats Marine commissioned a beautiful perpetual trophy, which was presented during the Oyster BVI regatta earlier this year to the top scoring yacht over the whole regatta. The winner was David Yelloly’s, Oyster 72, Spirit of Montpelier. New Director at EC Landamore Congratulations to Kevin Webster who was recently appointed a Director of E C Landamore. Kevin joined Landamores over 36 years ago, straight from school and has occupied a variety of positions since, starting in the workshop and latterly moving into management. Kevin’s contribution to Landamores and the Oyster business has been enormous and his appointment to the board is well-deserved. NEW ATLANTIC CROSSING GUIDE – CAN YOU HELP? Jane Russell, wife of David Russell, the Engineering Manager at E C Landamores, is editing a new Atlantic Crossing Guide for the RCC Pilotage Foundation. The new guide will be updated and expanded to include information on the African coast, the passage to Brazil, routes through the Caribbean including to Panama, routes north from the Caribbean up the east coast of North America, and northern latitude routes via Greenland, Iceland and Faroes. From now until July 2009, Jane will be collecting information ready for publication in early 2010 and would love to have any relevant feedback from anyone who is sailing the Guide areas over the next 12 months. In particular she would like to hear of any surprises, good or bad – anything that, despite all the preparations, was unexpected. This could be current approaches or port information, or it could be aspects of equipment, crew dynamics or other observations on passage. Up to date photographs would be greatly appreciated. Any published contributions will be acknowledged. If you would like to contribute, either with text or photos, please contact Jane by email at russell001@btinternet.com. Further information about the RCC Pilotage Foundation with publications, cruising and passage planning information an be found at: www.rccpf.org.uk
