Hi Everyone , Last weekend was our annual Youth Midwinter Cup which has been running since 2013 and for once we actually had perfect weather and even some wind to help everyone around the track . Numbers wer low this year despite advertising everywhere but thats how it goes occassionally . We had a good group of green fleet sailors and just a couple of open fleet . The two courses used were sausages and triangles with the sausage course for green fleet and the triangle for the open fleet .
There were a total of six races over the two days with the final race being a fun races using a minion buoy ? So what happened well Taylah thought it up in that they would chuck a buoy on the water and teams had to sail out and grab it and return it to shore , I would have personally grabbed it out of the winning boat and chucked it out again but Charlie was to slow at picking it up so Taylah told me but anyway they at least had some fun1 .
With the open fleet it was a tough battle between Harvey and Laken ( sabot) with laken winning 3 from five races . The guys really sailed well in the shifty conditions but if you fell in a hole it was definitely all over .
In green fleet It was a battle between Gemma , Reece and Zach and again the sailed the conditions well especially Gemma who seemed to miss the dead spots more than Reece and Zach . I even gave the wetsuits twins a congratulations for sailing each race and trying hard so well done girls .
Thanks to RTM , Billys Chicken , Harbour Barber , Aspire Physio and TSS Sailing Company for supporting the event both financially and raffle prizes so that at presentation everyone ended up with a prize including our supporters , Taking out first in open was Laken and second was Reece ( no third place due to low numbers and in Green fleet Gemma was first , Reece second and Zach third Gemma also rceived a north sails sail trimming manual and our twins picked up a sailors gift bag supplied by all the sponsors .
