Hi Everyone , Well its finally here with Christmas only 5 days away and the club officially closed until the 7th of January its time to look back at whats been a great year for Paradise Point Sailing Club . In the last twelve months our Junior sailing fleet has almost doubled especially amongst our younger sailors , its such a joy for me personally to see all these five , six , seven and eight year olds sailing out on the broadwater on Sunday mornings sure there has been heaps of capsizes and collissions and the odd worried face but they still come back on the following weekend for more .
All this is thanks to our big hearted bunch of volunteers from the canteen people to the boat drivers and shore people and of course our group of assistant sailing instructors who turn up nearly every weekend and teach our kids how to sail and also have fun !
Our racing fleet is also on the increase and the racing is awesome with really good competition amongst both the adults and youth sailors , it must be good racing as I have been getting plenty of practice with the recall flags
Our Youth Regatta and Try Sailing days were also a great success and will return next year along with The Pan Pacific Masters Games which will be our third go at hosting this event .
Thanks to Harvey we now have our own keel boat in Public Nuisance which now looks awesome thanks to Boatworks and the suppliers who donated both time and product to give her a facelift and also a big thank you to Peter Andrew Rod Roger and me for getting her ready by repairing and sanding her down prior to her rap . While Iam on the subject thanks to Roger Ash Andrew Peter Parry Paul John T Christy for donating their time in bringing the Boat from Narooma NSW , for me my stint on board was just awesome especially the starts at night thanks mother nature for the nightly show
Unfortunately I have to round out with the only really disappointing side of the year and that was our recent break in where heaps of Open Bic equipment was stolen but thanks to our Insurance company we should have the boats back up and running early in the new year
If you are not doing anything new years eve come down to the club as Andrew and I have decided to open the canteen for coffee and d rinks as a prelude to the 9.00 pm fireworks which is always an awesome event .
MERRY CHRISTMAS and CU on the water
