Hi everyone, well there goes winter, it certainly was a mild one, although at times the wind was a bit lacking it came good near the end. Sunday Juniors will not be in its usual format on Sunday Sep 11th as we are going to have another go at Tera racing, well kind of racing, it's probably more about having fun, and yes cheating will be allowed after all its supposed to be fun !

8.30am Sunday Juniors

With blue skies and light winds from the s/e it was perfect for some new learners and the more experienced sailors to spend the session doing some tacking and gybing with a lot of success and the occasional failure. Again Hado stood out, it's just a pity he wears himself out before 10.30 class where he needs to be. Milosh also sailed well in the Laser and is coming ahead in his general sailing thanks to Tianna .

10.30am Sunday Juniors

Again this class is going well, but there seems to be a bit of a stumbling block with a few of our sailors in regards to trying racing, hopefully they will work it out for the Tera race day. I have to say that Rowan and Hallam sailed exceptionally in the Laser with smooth tacks and even a few gybes and they both looked extremely comfortable at all times just cruising around. As usual I have to thank Tianna, Charlie, Patrick, Dallas and Casey for all their assistance with these classes, they are definitely committed to teaching all our new sailors.

Open Racing

As we are still looking for new sailors in our Bic fleet, it's just Jonah out there at the moment, but hang in there mate we are working on it.

With Tom back from his outback motor cycle trip and a certain sailor in red hot form, I thought I should warn him that yes you guessed it Casey is absolutely flying at the moment. We sent everyone off firstly in our channel then off to the top of Sovereign before finishing back down just off Runners entry. After a race time of over 1hr and 12 minutes the first three Adults finished almost on top of each other. Tianna and I were taking bets on who would be first it was so close, but Tom prevailed over Roger and Steve, yes she did beat them ( Casey ) by coming in just over two minutes behind. You guys are going to have to go back to the full rig.

Additional Notes

Upcoming Events :
  • Tera fun race day Sunday 11th Sep 8.30 start
  • Pan Pacific Masters Games 4th / 13th Nov : we have nearly doubled the entries in August for this years event from 2014 numbers so it looks like this will be another great event for P.P.S.C. 
Extra news : There is on display at the club some architect plans for a proposal to extend the clubhouse, there is still a long way to go but we are going to give it our best shot.
