Hi Everyone, well after a week away in rainy Melbourne it was nice to return to Sunny Queensland and as usual witness another great weekend of Sailing .

8.30am Sunday Juniors

Over the last two weekends, the weather has been absolutely perfect for our early class kids with manageable winds and generally good sailing conditions for even more junior sailors to either work on their crewing skills or their steering skills. As usual there were the odd collisions ( nothing serious ) and inevitable capsizes, but with the help of the crew of willing junior and senior volunteers everyone had a great learning experience . I even saw one of our hardest working junior sailors have his first go at the Open Bic, and despite the wind drag from his beaming smile he sailed a difficult boat well so well done Hado !

10.30am Sunday Juniors

Again, we had good numbers for this class, and with a little bit more wind than the early class we concentrated on both triangles and then some distance sailing . We have relaxed the rule on single sailing a bit especially when the wind is up a bit so that everyone has a chance to be on the water and learn rather than capsize . There are a few standout sailors in Alec Caban who just continues to improve plus Cody, Daniel and Jess who with each week are growing in confidence and skill.

Open Bic Racing

We are slowly rebuilding the numbers in this group with last years sailors moving on to Lasers but with the help of Charlie Bratten coaching Daniel, and a few of our 10.30 sailors almost ready to give full racing a go, I think by next Summer we should have a full fleet of Bic sailors racing . Jonah and Charlie raced in the last of the summer series with Charlie coming home first in the strong conditions and Jonah second ( more pies Jonah !!!)

Adult Racing

With our Junior Laser sailors lining up as well in the last race and winds around 15/17 knots it was a heated start but everyone got away well . The Adults slowly skipped ahead, but Casey doggedly stuck with them until the larger sails proved to fast for the 4.7 and everyone skipped away . The race was over one and a half hours so everyone was a bit buggered when then returned, but they all looked like they enjoyed themselves . The next series starts on the 24th of April which is Anzac weekend and also there is racing up north . Good luck to everyone who is traveling away on the weekend and have a great regatta .

Additional Notes

Special AGM Notice
There will be a meeting of all full financial members after racing on Sunday the 24th of April to discuss the direction of the clubs future. If you would like to vote but cannot attend proxy voting forms are available from the sailing office .
