Hi Everyone, well the first half of the year has just flown by and now we have the run to Christmas with the Bunnings fundraising Barby, September holiday camps, September Tera race day again, Masters Games, Try sailing and club Xmas party, not to forget the school groups who are starting to book school sailing sessions beginning in August .

8.30am Sunday Juniors

With a good turn out of ten budding sailors and blue shies but unfortunately not much wind, well at times no wind, it was hard going for everyone trying to make it around the buoys . Our new Opti sailor Ruby decided to try the Tera instead so she could practice her steering in the light winds, while the team just tried to make it around the buoys. The newly renamed Yellow boat ( banana boat !) did go out towards the end of the session as we were bored so we decided to push people around in circles ! Why not ? Anyway it was all Charlie's idea, right crew ?

10.30am Sunday Juniors

Finally with the winds slowly settling in the south / east, everyone had a least some wind. The boys (Shaun and Brendan) in the 4.7s decided on an unofficial race while the Bic and Tera sailors just cruised around quietly as they didn't want to wake Abbey who was laying up the front of the Bic snoozing while Rowan steered. Some people have it tough right Ab ?

Open Bic Racing

With conditions really suiting Charlie ( 12/14 knots ),  he was off as soon as the flag dropped leaving Dan and Jonah to fight out second and third . Their course was both in our channel and in the Sovereign side and coming to the last rounding buoy Dan was leading Jonah that is until he lost his hat and of course he had to go back for it as its his favourite !

Open Race

With quite a few people away on O/Seas trips or injured we only ended up with ten boats at the start but despite the small fleet it was great racing with Peter fell first Steve second and Roger ( back from injury ) third . Casey took out the 4.7 easily as Pat and Dal took the 420 instead and I have to say despite a few spinnaker problems sailed the boat well , great work boys .

Additional Notes

Don't forget our Bunnings sausage sizzle at the end of the month so if you have some spare time on the day come and give us a hand, or at least come down and buy a sausage !
