Hi everyone, firstly don't forget that this Sunday is our Tera fun race day with all our junior sailors invited to come along and have some fun sailing with other sailors in a teams event. It should be great fun as the rules are very simple have fun ! The event starts at 8.30 so get down to the club and find your team member and sign up to have fun !

8.30am Sunday Juniors

It's becoming repetitive, but yes again we had blue skies, clear water and very little wind early. Despite light winds or should I say no wind at the start, we still had a good roll up with 17 keen young sailors heading out to have some fun. The wind did slowly come in with just enough puff for even those people having their first go at steering to gain some confidence.

I have to say that Kyle in the Bic really sailed very well out there on his own. Also Ava who after some convincing from Tianna took a Tera out herself and just cruised through the field.

10.30am Sunday Juniors

With a nice breeze from the s/e kicking in, we started everyone out with gybing and despite some complaining at first everyone strated to focus on the technique and started doing smooth gybes. We even put Cody in a Laser just to see how he went and he got the thumbs up from me Dad and Mum. His biggest challenge was capsize drill which you have to complete if you want to move on to Lasers and he completed it with a very large smile on his face so it looks like we have another Laser sailor in the fleet.

Open Racing

With a few people returning from overseas trips and the winds building to around 10/12 knots it was  a great day for racing so just to make it interesting I set a short start line with no real option except for starboard start. With two races for the day the starts were a bit hectic with a general recall in both races just to liven it up. Dallas tried port start in race 1, but failed taking out several competitors including Casey as the line. Then in race 2 he got his boom caught under Peters gunnell and when called up couldn't go creating a bit of mayhem and again taking Casey out at the start. Greg even after a three month break took out both races but was kept honest with Macca and Peter plus Roger and Steve right on his transom.

Additional Notes

Coming up this weekend is our Tera Fun Race day so no open racing.

We will also be looking for volunteers for the Masters Games especially during the week so if you can spare the time just let us know and we can pencil u in
