Recent News:-
A pair of SOA Burgees ( in case one is ruined by gales) and a SOA tie were presented to Gus at the London Boat Show by Nat. Hon. Sec. Trevor Thomas.
Gus will fly the SOA burgee for the whole trip and wear the tie at the formal dinners both at Plymouth UK and Newport Rhode Island.
It was thought unlikely that Gus would need two ties!
Let us hope that they bring Gus some SOA good fortune.
Other details and progress reports to follow.
