RYA Cruising News YOU'RE PART OF IT!
What's going on...
  Welcome to the October issue of Cruising News  
  In this issue, the RYA response to the MCA consultation on their revised proposals for modernising the Coastguard calls for 'greater clarity and reassurance' on what constitutes 'local knowledge.

Passage to Portland June 2012 is a unique 3 day event for motor and sail cruisers. Exclusive tour of the Olympic sailing venue, hear about the team's final preparations and celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee in style at Portland Castle.

Thank you so much for all your emails in response to last month's article: AIS small craft transmissions. Clutter and navigation status were common concerns and we take a look at them in AIS: Your feedback.

Asymmetric spinnakers are the focus of this month's look at spinnakers with Simon Jinks while Jake Kavanagh asks whether yachts are too power hungry in Power to the People? And lastly, how often do you check the shackles on your boat?
