Hi Everyone!

Hope you all had a good weekend especially with mother nature putting on a good two day result.

Sunday Juniors

Sunday Juniors continues to grow with approx 15 Junior sailors as young as six taking part in the first session with perfect 3 to 6 knots and smooth water.

All the kids are showing great promise with outstanding results from Noah and Connor with Connor now moving to 10.30 Junior Racing.

Congratulations boys !
Sunday Junior Racing

Junior Racing is starting to become very interesting with tight racing, capsizing and competitive mark roundings although I was told by the on water judge ( Pieter Verstoep ) that some people were not doing there penalty turns for touching marks.

Luka in the Bic has now got a new mainsheet which definitely worked better being smaller than the original so that it runs easier through the blocks.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
The Bic Regatta is presently in the official flyer set-up stage with all changes being passed on to the BIC company in France ( yes, France ) for the final product . The club is now seeking people to volunteer for daily rosters over the course of the event and we are also looking for a couple of people to help the committee in organizing the event. If you have a bit of spare time to help us set the structure of the event up just let us know at the club.

Sunday Racing

We had excellent racing weather on Sunday with consistent winds from the S/E up to 15/17 knots.

I believe several of yesterdays competitors are now going to heed my advice on sail selection with a few people overpowered. They should know by now as like most experts I am never, never wrong. OK, maybe occasionally !
Results:

1st Peter Fell
2nd Andrew Todd
3rd John Brown

Sailability

Tuesday's are finally going well for our guests from Sailability Gold Coast with good conditions last week and approximately 80 clients for the day.

The sailors have discovered our method of sandbank positions by running into them and then remembering the next time not to go there although some still try their luck, and as we do, and fail again.
Have a good week everyone
John Murphy
President /Sailing manager
