Landsailor magazine (posted 26 Aug 2004)
Landsailor ceases to be, at least in it's printed format. Paula is unable to continue compiling and editing the magazine, due to personal commitments.

As of now, all articles will be added to the website. There will not be a Landsailor section as such, as much of the material can be added to the existing areas of the site. If new categories are required, they will be added to the main menu (left-hand side).

The Fed website will be modified to allow people to submit 'Landsailor' items. This will include the ability to upload text files, word processor documents, photos, etc.

The Fed committee (and many others too!) are sad to see the end of the magazine, but they would like to extend their appreciation for all of Paula's hard work in the past. Good luck with the course work, Paula!
