Below is the announcement for the 2003 St Francis Yacht Club Laser
Symposium. You can read the details below, all I can add is that if you
are a young person who wants to improve your Laser sailing skills then
you don't want to miss this event!
(just to set the age scale... sadly, it appears that I no longer qualify
as a "young person")
