I hope you didnt have to give away too many Halloween treats to avoid the tricks!

Alex Bleasby series
The 9^th of October saw the final race of the series, and it was a final race shoot out between Aphros and MicMac. Once again the turnout for this series has been excellent. Thank you to Peter Crabb for organising the series and to Joyce Barber for sponsoring. The picture below shows skippers and crews enjoying the all-important lunch following the final race.
Congratulations to MicMac, skippered by Malcolm Le Couteur, on winning the series.
 
General Directive 14, updated 4^th October 2024
This directive covers navigation within the St Helier Harbour approaches and has been reviewed in order to add clarification. It was to essentially bring the directive in line with current practice. As part of this process, navigational risks were reviewed and incorporated, together with some clarification with regards to the passages of Corbiere inshore, Brett and Elizabeth breakwater end.
Members should familiarise themselves with GD 14 which can be found on the Ports of Jersey website using the below link:
