A Quickie
It's spring again
and time to work on the boats. However, various minor considerations have
necessitated a quick newsletter - so, here it is -
Membership
Our treasurer, Dr.
Laurie Oxenham reminds all owners that the yearly membersship fees of three
(3) dollars are now due. The association keeps running by means
of this support from you, and it would be appreciated if you would send
in your $3 promptly to: Dr. L. Oxenham, 360 Jane Ave., Oshawa,
Ont.
Still another item
from Dr O. All Wayfarers should be registered!! This registration takes
place once at a cost of $5 to the owner and remains in effect for the duration
of owmership. Only a few registrations remain unpaid, and Laurie would
like get his records completed. So take note, all those concerned!!!!
The Yearbook
Work is progressing
towards our first yearbook. We have heard from everyone except -
Windsor
Ottawa
Kingston
Please rush in any
additional material so that we may have as complete a year book as possible.
John Wood (W 606)
sent a very nice letter to the newslette, asking about publication of complete
North American Wayfarer Championship results for 1965. These will appear
in the Year Book, John.

The Revised Rules
On page three of this
NEWSLETTER, there appears a ballot in which all members of the C.W.O.A.
are asked to cast their vote on an IMPORTANT matter to the retention of
strict one design uniformity among Wayfarers. Whereas the point of running
jib sheets inside shroud wires may appear insignificant, it can, and in
some cases has, led to a number of expensive and complicated alterations
to the original design of the boat until we are becoming a 16' Lightning.
Think wel1 before
you vote. Send your ballot in as soon as possible, preferably today.
(the above scan
is meant to give the flavour of the only Wayfarer newsletter that Uncle
Al ever ran off on a ditto machine - hence the purple shade!)
