Sunday 16th August - Juniors and Racing

19/8/2015

Hi Everyone, firstly hopefully everyone noticed the different look on the front of the clubhouse on Sunday ? Andrew , Donna and I managed between us to virtually complete the top coat on the front of the building and finish the sealer coat on the waterside . The end result to me was a totally different look , now all we have to do is complete the rest.

8.30am Juniors

We are not sure what happened but numbers were low with only five juniors in the class . The good side was except for Ava ( retired hurt , not sailing related apparently skateboard on Saturday? )
So our new sailors from the previous week got Tianna and my total attention in learning steering . Yes there were some out of control issues, some capsizes and brothers not getting along ( unusual A ? ) The brothers were easily fixed we just put them in separate boats >

10.30am Juniors

Even though the winds had settled in to around 8/10 knots numbers were the same as the morning very low . Those who came sailed really well and with some extra coaching we managed to get Kyle up to speed in his tacking procedures . The resident two crazies were out there that is Daniel and Jess who even though the sailed in
basically shirts and shorts and capsized at least 4 times each said it wasn't cold ????? see what I mean Crazies . The smart one was Kyle who actually did come in because IT WAS COLD!

Open Bic / Laser

Conditions were reasonable for these guys with winds around 6 to 10 knots but plenty of tide , they all had an interesting race with especially Jonah and Dallas who were neck and  neck for the whole course with Jonah just pipping Dallas and Pat not far off in third . Casey actually sailed with the adults as no other 4.7 lasers turned up , she was right there with them until the clew strap came undone ( she will have to speak to the person who rigged it ? ) and by the time she managed to re attach it the fleet had bolted .

Adult Racing

With a reasonable fleet including Chris Connelley who we havnt seen for some time the guys started in reasonable conditions but it was definitely flukey with shifts and wind speed variation making it slow going at times . It was actually a good race as the pack generally kept together throughout the whole race . We did however shorten the race as conditions were failing and we wanted to get back before dark with Chris just first over the line and then I think Macca and definitely Tom with a bit of help from me ( instead of wake up Jeff it was wake up Tom !remember Tom Straight lines to the finish are best ! )

Upcoming Activities

Painting - No painting this weekend as I am off to a corporate day
Club Powerboat Rescue Day : tentatively Sunday the 20th of September but I will confirm that next news letter . For those who don't know we run our own rescue boat handling courses for those parents who want to become more involved on the water so if you think you might like to have a go just let me know at the club .
