Sunday September 11th, 2016

Hi Everyone, yes I am very late this week, time just got away from me.
Well, last weekend as you all know there were no 8.30 or 10.30 classes because we had our Tera Race Day. How successful was it, just ask the 25 kids who came and had a try at racing with a little cheating added in.

There was the occasional accidental rudder removal, the odd loose bung, and some very tired arms from paddling, right Parker !

With the light winds early there was some trouble with the current getting to the buoys, but once the s/e wind came in it was actually just perfect for everyone to speed around the course then back to the finish line.

We did mix it up in the middle with a Laser challenge, and what was the challenge I hear you ask ? How many people can you fit on a Laser and keep it upright ? The answer was 20, yes twenty, and if you don't believe it just check us on face book or in the gallery on the site here.

One outcome from the day was the desire from a lot of the young sailors to do more racing, so we intend to change 10.30 class to include weekly racing.

Additional Notes

If you have some spare time on Sunday it is a maintenance day at the club so if you can paint, screw, nail, hammer, clean, cut wood, hold stuff and just generally help out then come along from 8am and I am sure we can find something for you to do. The main jobs are new door frames and doors, more storage space, painting the cage, the new doors, the frames, and the new front awning uprights before we fit them, so yep there's plenty to do !

RACING IS BACK ON SUNDAY THE 25TH OF SEPTEMBER
