Double celebrations are in order next year, as not only does Nancy Blackett celebrate her 75th anniversary, but it is also the 10th anniversary of the Nancy Blackett Appeal, which resulted in the purchase of Nancy and the formation of the present Trust.
Various celebratory events and activities are being planned, details of which will be published when available. The first confirmed date is for a special AGM weekend on June 3rd and 4th 2006, to be held at the Royal Harwich Yacht Club, at Woolverstone in Suffolk.
It is intended that Nancy’s Sailing Programme for 2006 will be based in and around her East Coast home waters, with possible voyages across the North sea to Vlissingen and Dutch waters.
It also hoped to give Nancy herself a birthday present, in the form of a new mainsail. If you would like to contribute our Mainsail Fund, please send your cheques, payable to the Nancy Blackett Trust, to our Chairman (click here for his address).
