Hi Everyone, finally we had perfect weather on Sunday after weeks of 20/35 knots large chop and generally very testing conditions. All the juniors managed to get out there in the Teras and Lasers and sail around a reaching course in S/SE winds.

8.30am Sunday Juniors

Well, with the weather perfect for sailing, we had our usual large group of sailors turn up for this class plus a couple of extras having their first go. It was so busy we started running short of masts ( 3 broken in strong winds ) in the Teras, but backed them up with a few Lasers to make the fleet. I coached Mary , Ava , Mia in steering and tacking, which they all managed to get right and even sailed half the course with the rest of the kids . From what I saw on the water everyone had a great time, and as usual special thanks goes to Dan , Cody , Jess , Dallas , Pat , Charlie and Casey for being out there with the juniors showing them how its done .

10.30am Sunday Juniors

This session is going well with generally good numbers every Sunday. Abby was again out there in the Bic having a few challenges with the boat but she keeps getting out there and giving it a go .
Cody and Josh also sailed well with Josh having a look of total concentration every time I came up to him . If the weather is similar next weekend I think its time for some practice racing for this group which will hopefully take them to the next level.

Open Bic Racing

With Jonah away, it was only Charlie and Daniel racing Bics. With a few laps short of the adult course, Charlie after a little prompting took off and finished first comfortably as he should with his experience but Dan with the help of Aidan's coaching improved over the course especially in upwind sections.

Open Racing

With a large group of Adults away we only had seven starters, four of which were the Junior 4.7 Laser fleet, then Steve, Roger and Andrew in the Adults . The start was hotly contested with Dallas getting away with the Adults and Roger and Andrew settling into a battle for the lead. From what I saw it was good racing all round with Andrew first then Roger and Steve . In the 4.7s it was a battle between Casey and Dallas after Pat dropped back about half way through the race, but she just couldn't catch him . Jess was also out for her first race in reasonable conditions and with some coaching help from the start boat especially on the upwind she managed for he first time to complete the course, great work Jess !

Additional Notes

Don't forget on March 20th we are holding a round of the Laser states with a presentation after racing . We will be looking at having two races on the day so it should be a good one.

Mid Winter Cup we are waiting decision from last years sponsors !
