759.0. "Sailing Speakers/Ideas" by SAGE::JERAULD () Thu Mar 10 1988 16:35

    Are there any interesting presenters out there that
    would be willing to speak on a topic related to sailing
    to a small yacht club on the first Monday of the month ??
    
    I'm the Vice-Commodore of the Massabesic Yacht Club in
    Manchester, NH and I'm looking for ideas, topics and 
    distingushed guests to come to MYC.  If you know of 
    someone, or perhaps have an interesting topic to 
    discuss or present (usually informally) give me a call
    or respond on this note file.
    
    I'm sure others might enjoy seeing what Sailing interests
    are available within/outside of DEC.  We've had sailmakers
    like Norm Cressey, NH Safety officials, class racers, 
    etc. present in the past.  I'm looking for some new speakers 
    perhaps on dinghy racing, off-shore racing/crusing, or ???
    
    All ideas are welcome !!

	Im a member of the Traditional Small Craft Association of the Peabody Museum. We meet monthly and have had a variety of speakers, mostly grouped into two classes- boat builders and 'adventurers' The person who schedules are events is Bob Hicks, Publisher of Messing About in Boats, a small New England Boat publication- Bob himself may be a good speaker! Bob can be reached at 617/774-0906. Another plug for Messing About- its a great little mag, comes out every other week, and is strictly devoted to small boat stuff in New England. $15 per year.

	RE: .2 > I'm interested in Messing About. Would it be possible to see > one or two sample articles? How does one subscribe? Write (or call) Bob Hicks, at 29 Burley St, Wenham, MA (can't remember the ZIP), tell him how you heard about Messing..., and ask if he'll send you a sample issue or two. He's always glad to do so. I'm another noter who subscribes; it's a downright unpretentious bit of fun twice a month, and an excellent source of mostly local (N.E.) news on all kinds of human-scale small craft. J.

	The full address for Bob Hicks is: Messing About in Boats 29 Burley St Wenham MA 01984 phone 617/774-0906 Bob will always send sample copies, and the subscription base is extending a bit outside New england- although Bob intends to keep the focus on NE, he has readers now over most of the Eastern half of the US.

	If sailing is defined as 'Mucking about in boats', then sailing on the East Coast (UK) estuaries can be defined as 'boating about in muck'
