Hi everyone , yes Santa is nearly here, only 9 sleeps to go and lets hope everyone has a great Christmas with friends , Family and of course good weather . The club will be running Juniors this Sunday and it will start up again on Sunday the 10th of January . The club will be partially open from the 28th for members to gain access to their boats an hopefully me going for some much needed sailing therapy.

8.30am Juniors

With overcast conditions and rain we didn't expect anyone to come along, but as usual we were wrong with five sailors showing up for a go. The winds were basically from the south around 6/10 knots, so conditions were OK for everyone to get some practice in, but at 10 o'clock in came the southerly change and it went from 6/10 to 20 plus in a matter of minutes. so as everyone was just capsizing we pulled the pin and cancelled the session . One good point was the return of India who has been away for over twelve months but it was obvious from the start that she hadn't forgot how to sail and even capsize.

Sailing Camp

We held a camp this week as well and with perfect conditions with sunny skies and e/s/e winds at around 3/6 knots both days were just right to teach some new sailors and some more experienced ones more sailing skills . Standouts were Jackson who really sailed well including an excellent windward work up to Sovereign, plus Grace who not only sailed well but was outstanding in the capsize department with her equally skilled crew , I gave up in the end trying to stop them and just let them go . Actually everyone improved in their sailing including Tom who actually started sailing straight at the marks and even fixed his main sheet tangles . Casey helped both days , but our other assistant failed to turn up but was seen in his tinny at one stage , apparently he was sick or something must have a bout of Tinnyitus , yep I made it up Michael .

Lastly I finally came through with my promise to teach Casey Dallas and Sienna how to sail a dinghy with us rigging the 420 after the camp finished yesterday and heading out on the Broadwater to practice tacking and gybing as a team and then headsail and main trimming . I ended up getting off and letting them go on their own with me following in the powerboat and I think we might have turned a corner , great work guys ! And we wont even mention Dallas breaking stuff and then being bitten three times by the hernia ? ( its Andrew's laser which is on the heaviest dolly )

Additional Notes

Racing will be back in early February, dates to follow.
