Sunday October 18th - Sailing

23/10/2015

Hi Everyone , I think summer is finally here with warm winds and warm water it certainly is the best time of year to sail and don't forget the East based winds ! With Christmas fast approaching plans are underway for our annual Xmas Party which will be held at the club on Sunday the 6th of December and everyone is invited !

8.30am Juniors

Well what can I say, this class had the most Junior sailors with 20 juniors turning up to sail and with the winds out of the South early it was great sailing weather for everyone .
The two who stood out the most were Mary and Hado who with Tianna's help went merrily off sailing together great work Hado Mary really trusts you .
I have to also thank all our juniors who came along to help as without your teaching skills we couldn't have had such a successful day .

10.30am Juniors

Again we had a good crowd out there and with the winds swinging East it was perfect sailing weather to head of to the canal south of the club . With Alex in the lead and the rest close behind it was great to see them heading away from the club for a bit of a sail .
The winds were around 6/8 knots so it was perfect for practicing not only tacks and gybes but also sail trim .

Open Bic Racing

With Dallas , Pat and Jonah lining up with the adults at the start line and the winds increasing to around 15 knots we sent them off down to Runaway bay then up the track to the bottom of Ephraim except Pat who decided to do an extra leg from A to C . The best was the finish as with Dallas holding Jonah out from the finish Pat nearly beat them both over the line until he nose dived and let Dallas slip in first with amazingly Pat second ( still sailing underwater ) and Jonah 3rd .

Adult Racing

With Ideal conditions Will decided to try a port start only he was yelling Starboard ( shades of Dominic ) which confused the whole fleet resulting in a general recall with half the fleet miles over at the start . The second start was much more orderly with everyone on time . The winds increased to around 16/17 knots and I set a course with some good reaching and broadreaching speed sections around triangles . It was great to watch with spray flying and smiling faces all round . Will got home first with Greg and Macca following close on his
heels .
