Sunday October 4th - Sailing

9/10/2015

Hi Everyone, I had to miss last weeks letter as we were asked to run The University Games of Australia .
It was a big event with over sixty competitors for three days and with such short notice it was a mad scramble to make it all happen and happen it did with perfect weather and good winds it certainly look both colourful and exciting .

A special thanks goes to all the volunteers who helped both in the canteen and on water , you are the people that makes our club great .

8.30am Juniors

With a long weekend and the end of school holidays we didn't expect many sailors but we were wrong with a dozen hardy juniors getting out there in basically a northerly at around 5 knots it was perfect for both the new sailors and the experienced sailors . We even had two new boys all the way from Ireland who went out with Casey and Ava in the laser and Dallas took a couple of new sailors in the other club laser . Who stood out well I have to say the assistant instructors Dallas and Casey they were just so informative , Dallas had a group of six standing around the Tera listening to his explanations of sailing I was very impressed .

10.30am Juniors

This class basically didn't happen with only Cody there, so we got Dallas to rig the Bic so that Cody could have his first go in one . How did he go ? just great especially when we took Dallas off and he was on his own smiling from ear to ear , I think we now have another Bic sailor .

Adult Racing

With winds initially around 6/8 knots and very heavy boat traffic I only set a course from our channel up to the middle of Ephraim and back to the club but as usual the winds increased just before the start to around 12/14 knots so everyone was back in under an hour but no one seemed to complain as it was a great race and yes there was a lot of powerboat traffic which is always scary !

Junior Racing

With only the usual competitors in Dal , Jonah , Pat and Jas ( Casey raced with the adults ) we again set a shorter course which turned out in the conditions to be very quick with everyone home in around 40 minutes except Jonah who had to be towed home , just one of those days a Jonah !
Speaking of Jonah and Dallas  they competed in silver fleet in the Open Bic Queensland Cup in Silver Fleet at SYC two weeks ago and came home with first and second . Now we just need more Bic sailors .
Jonah 1st and Dallas 2nd nice work boys .
