Harken UK News Update
At the start of January our New Website went live, which we are very pleased with. This was a complete redesign of our website and we started pretty much from scratch. It’s a vast improvement, so please check it out www.harken.co.uk.
We have also recently launched a Harken UK Facebook page where you can post updates. Please stop by and like us, you can find our page at www.facebook.com/HarkenUK. We will be posting here regularly with cool pictures, our news, sailor stories, event reports, regatta reports and lots more. As a Harken Sailor, we’re hoping that your news and pictures will play a large part on this page so please keep me up to date about what sailing you have been up to or post about your sailing directly if that is easier.
The Dinghy Show is just around the corner, I will be at the show on Saturday 2nd February so be sure to pop by and say Hi. This year we will be featuring a Harken “Cool Wall” on our stand at the Dinghy Show, so if you have any copyright free pictures of you sailing that you want us to feature then please send them to me by 20th February. You can find full details about how our “Cool Wall” will work here.
Finally, I look forward to supporting your Nationals and hearing your 2013 stories and hope to catch up with you at the Dinghy Show.
Happy Sailing,
Class Association
