Following the success of the first in the 'Boat Chat with the M.R.O.A.' series when Sam Breary presented to over 61 participants on 'Getting it right when it matters most,' the M.R.O.A. is pleased to announce the next two talks.

On Thursday 11th March David Battye will be talking rules. Those who attend the Aspire Merlin Rocket National Championships will know David, as he is our on the water Judge. David will be talking about the 2021-2024 rules and will be available to answer your questions.

On Thursday 1st April we have Alex Warren of WTF - Warren Therapy and Fitness talking about getting fit for sailing. Alex is familiar to the fleet, he is a Silver Tiller, Inland Championship and Salcombe Week winning crew plus he can also be found on the helm too. What we are trying to say is this chat will be for helms and crews!

Each session is hosted by an M.R.O.A. committee member. There will be a 30-40 mins presentation followed by a Q&A, so please come prepared.

The Boat Chats are open to all, and places are limited to 100, so it will be on a first come first serve basis. The evening will be recorded so if you unable to make it you will be able to watch again via our YouTube Channel.
