It's that time of year when it's time to renew membership of the class association for what is going to be a very exiting time for the class. Once again membership has been frozen at £15.

You can renew your membership online where you pay by PayPal, or you can print out the membership form and put it in the post.


Changes to the Supernova dinghy
2010 will bring about some exciting changes to the Supernova dinghy. As well as new sail (manufactured By Jeckells, the deck layout is to get a makeover - which will probably result in an open transom. The new layout is expected to be revealed at the Dinghy Exibition.

A new page has been set up to keep you up to date with these changes.
