MOCRA was formed in 1969 to encourage and foster sailing of cruising and racing multihulls, to help improve their seaworthiness and promote their use. We administer and continually update the MOCRA Rating Rule specifically for multihulls and organise MOCRA class entries in UK sailing clubs and premier UK sailing events such as the Round the Island Race. We also organise a number of cruises throughout the summer months, social events and an annual dinner and prize giving after the AGM.
 
It is a voluntary organisation funded by members’ subscriptions and rating fees. Annual membership is just £25 renewable each January which includes the REVIEW magazine. To join; please see here.

Dear MOCRA Member,

I am delighted to announce that the MOCRA AGM this year will take place on Saturday 16th November 2024 at the RNLI College in Poole.  The venue will be ours from 6pm, and the meeting will begin at 6:30pm.  The AGM will be followed by dinner and prize giving, plus a talk by Andy Sinclair.  The talk will be entitled ‘Sailmaking in the America’s cup and life inside the team’.  His promises to be a fascinating talk.  

Dinner comes at a cost of £35.50 a head.  There is a menu choice and payment must be made in advance. I therefore ask that you get your menu choice and money to me no later than Thursday October 31st.  Please email me at email hidden; JavaScript is required with your menu choice, and make your payment of £35.50 via the MOCRA bank account (please put your name and AGM24 as your reference).

This year’s trophies will be handed out at the AGM, and we sincerely hope to see trophy winners at the AGM to be able to congratulate you and give you your trophies.  There are a number of trophies out there which need returning.  If you are able to return these it would be much appreciated.  Should you be in possession of a trophy but not know how best to return it please let me know.  Thank you.

It is now coming towards the end of the sailing season for many of us.  We would love to have reports of the sailing you have done that we can share with your fellow MOCRA members in the MOCRA Review. The Review is one of the things that members say they value highly, but we need your contributions to share. A contribution might be anything from a couple of paragraphs and a photo upwards.  All articles will be published providing that they arrive with us by Christmas.  Time is needed to collate and prepare for publication.  

Hope to see many of you on 16th November.

With kind regards

 
Melanie Holder
Hon. Secretary MOCRA
