RORC Race - to Dieppe - 28th to 29th May
  Lutine started well, mid-fleet and with the Spinnaker up in approximately 20 knots of breeze. Due to the navigating prowess of Graham Spark and Peter Davison, we found ourselves overtaking those yachts who had opted for a better wind angle over the flooding tide. Averaging speeds of 8.5 knots, Lutine set her course out of the Solent.

New Member's Weekend
  On 8-9 April 5 new members of the club were due to take a trip on Lutine with Lawrence Nicholls. Unfortunately Lutine was still completing her winter maintenance programme and was unavailable. Instead a boat was chartered from the Hamble and although somewhat smaller was used as a stand in Lutine.

Easter Cruise
  Usually the Easter Cruise is a trip over the Channel to the Channel Islands. With a relatively untested engine this year the cruising ground was restricted. Nevertheless Lutine and a party of people organised by Lynne Atherton had 4 good days sailing to Poole and back, with the odd stop in between. Lutine on her first outing of the year was looking good with new upholstery and rebuilt engine.
