Hi Everyone , firstly thanks to everyone who turned up on Sunday to have a go at the Canteen and its coffee machine as part of our drive for more volunteers to help man this valuable asset on Sundays and special events , even my Grand daughter turned up to help out .
We didn't have much of a turnout for the rescue boat training must have been the weather cold and wet .

Although the conditions were at first on the edge of our safe wind limits we decided to rig a couple of lasers and a few teras and give it a try as some of the kids were good enough and big enough to try the conditions while Casey and I sailed with the less experienced . It was great fun for me as I really enjoy sailing with the kids . I thought Tasman sailed the best out of the group must have something to do with how tall he is .
10.30am Juniors
| With a good group turning up we again did again have a few reservations about sending them out as the winds had increased to around 12/15 knots but in the end we just set a reach to broad reach and let them go. There was the odd capsize but in the end it was the cold that won out and they all came in around ten thirty. | |
But this wasn't the end as with Ben ( Ollie's dad ) we rigged the 420 and set them off with Ben on the helm for some runs in front of the club. The winds were by now a good sixteen knots so it was great sailing weather and thanks to Ben again for being able to steer the boat with five yes five other people on board . It was great to see it out there !
Other Notes
