Hi Everyone , after a week in Sydney it was nice to be back on Sunday with warm weather and blue skies but as usual very little wind early .

8.30am Sunday Juniors

Still with 12 juniors (some very sleepy from a sleepover ?), we sent them off in smooth water blue skies but barely a breeze . The breeze did come in half way through the session from the ss/e so at least people like Hado / Rowan really had a great sail. I even had Rowan gybing as part of her bid to go up another level. More practice next week Rowan.

10.30am Sunday Juniors

We again had a good crowd for this session and with a breeze building from the ss/e to around 4/6 knots it was a perfect morning to work with Brendan and his tacking (what was wrong ? he was stalling out in tacks, solution change sides later). As usual once we got everyone out there what did the wind do you guessed it it died half way to the yellow. Drifting practice took over until I showed Cody how to pump the boat and away he went. With the very slow conditions everyone came in a bit early not that I can blame them it was definitely slow .

Open Bic Racing

With Dan away it was only Charlie and Jonah lining up and with the wind light from the s/e it was always going to be Jonahs day finishing first in both races even if he did go to the wrong mark in race one . Charlie tried his best but it was just too much weight difference although in the second race he halved the finish distance , great racing boys !

Open Race

With two short races set for the day because of the light winds and race one being windward leeward and the second triangles and windward leeward it turned out good racing weather especially with the wind turning east for race two . Tom lead them around in both races and as usual the 4.7 brigade battled it out with no quarter given with rules being yelled at marks and taking people up . We even had a Tasar and the 420 out with good competition between them as well .

Additional Notes

DON'T FORGET : If you can help at our Bunnings Barbeque this Saturday just let us know as we are needing people for the morning and afternoon shifts . All the funds raised help to buy equipment for the kids to sail so its a good cause .
