Hi Everyone , well the big news is that we have another Bic in the club with Ollie's parents finding him a bargain in North Queensland. Is he impressed, yes because the continuous smile was a give away ! All we need now is a few more up and coming budding Bic sailors to join in with him and work towards next years Youth Cup .

8.30am Juniors

With good numbers and even better weather, this class is going ahead leaps and bounds and with both parents and Juniors wanting to know where do they go next with their sailing experience. We are firstly pushing quite a few to 10.30 class and also suggesting Saturday afternoon class as well . Who knows where some of these great little sailors will end up ? It's a credit to all our Instructors and volunteers working tirelessly to make sure everyone learns and has fun

10.30am Juniors

With a couple of newbies in this group again and winds around 6/8 knots tending N/E it was perfect for both tacking and gybing practice, and with the course spread out across the channel everyone had time to work on their sailing skills . Jess's friend Maya did well in the Laser especially when Jess got off ! Funnily enough the boats seemed to stop capsizing when that happened . Jeffrey, one of the new guys, also came to grips with the challenge of 10.30 class as well buy the end of the session .

Open Bic

With Pat away, it was only Jonah and Dallas supporting the Bics at the start line, and with an ever increasing outgoing current they both struggled on the upwind up to the bottom of Sovereign. But with a bit of coaching from me they both managed to make it around the course, which was a long one of around 1.5 hrs ( getting them ready for the end of the year marathon !)

Open Race

With no opposition in her age group, Casey sailed with the adults and her and Trish had a battle around the course. It definitely gave Casey some much needed upwind practice, and to her credit she completed the course in 2.5 hrs . The rest of the adults were lead by Will around the course, who slowly but surely edged away even when he went up the wrong channel and had to cut back across the gutter at Ephraim . Peter Fell was seen using the new Laser sail ? but the jury is still out on that one as it will need some practice to see how well it works . The race was a long one even with good winds because of the current speed with everyone around the two hour mark at the line .

Additional Notes

Events : The flyers are out for the Try Sailing fundraiser day on December 6th, so if you can pick a couple up next time you are at the club and perhaps deliver them to your schools, we can look forward to good numbers on the day .

Xmas Party : Sad news Pieter isn't doing his famous Ham this year as he has to go racing ! But the good news is that Justine has taken over and she is doing the Ham this year and the raffle meat trays, so all is good with the Xmas party for another year .
