Sunday January 31st, 2016

Hi Everyone , well I know I said we had a big weekend with the National Windsurfing Titles, but our Sunday Juniors last weekend was just as awesome with probably one of the biggest number of kids we have ever had on a Sunday .

8.30am Sunday Juniors

Well we started last Sunday morning actually very quietly, and up until 8.20 am we hardly had any takers for this class, but then the flood gates opened with over twenty budding junior sailors signing on, so it was a mad rush to find enough boats so that everyone could have a sail . The conditions although very muggy were excellent for our learners with bright sunshine and 6 knot winds from the north allowing us to set a short and long reaching course towards Ephraim .
We even had the opportunity to practice knots as a few of the kids now want to go to our later class and learn even more !

10.30am Sunday Juniors

By the time we finished with the early class it was really heating up so everyone in this class was reminded to slap on the sunscreen before heading to the boats . The winds had now started to turn more n/e so it was perfect for a triangle course and despite some early complaining everyone managed to get the hang of it, oh except Jeff who managed to end up under the bridge several times nearly taking out the mast on one of his excursions . After generally a good session learning triangles we opened it up and sent everyone over to the second green mark for some broadreaching down and a close reach back . It was a lot of young sailors first go at going upwind over distance  so there was definitely a steep learning curve involved with the smart sailors following Alec in the Bic who has done all this before , all in all it was a great session just to bloody hot !!!

Additional Notes

Racing starts next Sunday with the usual kick off time of 1.30 and with a few of the young sailors leaving the Bic for Lasers it should be a good first race of the season. Now all we need is more kids to take over the Bic racing, so all you budding racers out there come and have a chat on Sunday about how you start your racing career .
As always many thanks to the volunteers ; Kyle, Casey, Sienna, Cody, Dan, Andrew and whoever else I might have missed on the day . Apparently Tianna will be back on Sunday for all those who were asking where she was , lets hope she had a great break especially after all the time she put into the recent Nationals at P.P.S.C.

C U ALL ON THE WATER
