Hi Everyone , Seeing that I missed the news letter last week due to being in sydney I thought I would get in early this week and do it today ( tuesday ) . The big news is finally after delays with stock and tradies this week we have finally had the waterside door replaced and the upstairs carpets are being finished today and finally the storm damaged roller doors are being done on Thursday its been a long slog but its finally being completed now all thats left is the insurance claim on the 420 mast but I think they will wright it off so we keep the boat but just have to find a mast .After much searching we have found a new treasurer to replace kelly who asked to be removed as treasurer and our new treasurer will take a bit to get up to speed but it shouldnt be long before she has everything sorted . You may have seen recently another instructor at the club his name is mike and he is the green fleet coach for the states and is volunteering with us to get a feel for the club thanks mate hope you are enjoying yourself. A special thanks to jacks dad Ronan for fitting us in to his work schedule when water damage was found upstairs allowing the carpet people to lay the last of the carpet in the master bedroom now geoff and wendy can move back in instead of sleeping in the lounge room , what was the leak ? apparently incorrect fitting of the flashing under the tiles.
Sunday Morning Juniors 8.30 am
With it being mothers day we didnt expect much of a turn up for 8.30 even charlie was late as he took his mum for coffee so well done charlie .As it turned out we ended up with 10 junior sailors signed on and with the help of jack , Leila and Halle , tristan and harvey we soon had the group rigging boats including the odd repair mainly minor stuff .Once the briefing was completed we soon had the boats on the water and with a n/w breeze around 3-5 knots it was perfect for the morning group. Hayden who is always first here asked if he could sail alone and Quinn was again in the bic with Leila as instructor. Itook two sisters and we did tacking near the shore then once they had it down patt I sent them out with everyone else . Hayden was doing really well as he wants to progress to 10 .30 class practicing gybes and tacks . Quinn learnt about Bic battens especially as the wind lightened out as they just wouldnt pop so she had a lot of practice shaking the boom . unbelievably there was even a capsize and yes it was on purpose definitely not for me as the water is getting cold . It was a great session even with lightening wind and of course one boat without a bung!!!
Youth Training 10.30 am
With the Bic states getting closer charlie had a question and answer session first and these guys and girls are starting to really think about sailing with some really good discussion and questions being asked such as buoy room and right of way its been a bit of a slog but they are all starting to become more focused which of course improves sailing we hope! Charlie set a windward leeward to test everyones upwind and downwind with roll tacks and gybes and pumping allowed . Being the first time for pumping and I think only the third time for rolls it was very interesting to watch with not all pumping going well and some of the roll tacks under rolling our slightly over . We had a new sailor in the laser in matt who is one of charlies students from yepoon last year and he had a great run as did harvey , reece jack and Halle well at least from what I saw . At the debrief it was good to see what everyone thought of their effort and even my new student TJ went much better with a bit more focus on the water and double checking his rigging .
