Hi Everyone , Well not much happened last weekend sailing wise even though we had a beautiful start to the day the winds soon started to pick up from the south and by 8.00am it was gusting to 18 knots in front of the club . We did have a few juniors turn up so rather than send them straight home Casey said why not teach knots which started out fine but once we had done stop knots , bowlines and sheet bends and practiced rolling rope and throwing tow ropes it soon degenerated into people tying each other up for fun . by 9.30 am it was also evident that training for 10.30 am wasnt going to happen so we put a second notice on the website and facebook and no sooner had I completed that I had the Adult racers call to check about 1.30 pm racing as well and after a quick walk outside to check conditions ( gusting 30knots ) you guessed it racing was cancelled too.
We did manage to change the turbo kit from bad decision to the new donated laser ( Andrew ) as she looks less tired than bad decision who has done ten years worth of work at the club.
This coming weekend is looking much better so fingers crossed that we get some good sailing winds .
News :
Thanks to Gold Coast City Council offering a financial grant we have been looking into an extension to our caged area with a third quote just being sent to Council for discussion and hopefully a decision , if we are successful we will have more room inside by moving more boats to the caged area .
First Aid :
There is a first aid course taking place at the club on saturday the 9th of november and it is open to everyone so if you need a CPR upgrade or want to do the full first aid course check with the office to book a place , so far we have 7 people doing the course with several more spots available
Upcoming :
Firstly our TRY SAILING FUNDRAISING DAY ( 8/12/2019) is well under way with the Hospital again on board for this great yearly event . As usual we will be looking for both volunteers and sailors on the day to make sure its another successful day !
Xmas Party :
The xmas party will again be held at the club premises on the 15th of december and if its anything like last year it should be a lot of fun.
