Sunday 23rd August - Sailing

26/8/2015

Hi Everyone , firstly if anyone is free next Saturday we are hoping to finish the exterior painting of the club building so if you can spare a few hours just let me know . This should be the final coat and I will even try to not paint the windows this time .
We are also still looking for some volunteers for the canteen so if you think you can spare a couple of hours just let us know , I am trying to organise a training day on Sunday the 20th of September for those who are interested .

8.30am Juniors

Well with overcast and humid conditions but at least some wind we were back to reasonable numbers for the session and as usual we even had a new set of newbies with Emily and Amily who although were very timid at first eventually arrived back on shore smiling and laughing thanks to Caseys expert instruction on the laser .
Everyone sailed well and enjoyed a trouble free session , it was so good we let everyone stay on the water until 20 past ten .

10.30am Juniors

With the conditions roughly north and reaching around 6 knots but with general wind shifts from n/w to n/e it was a challenge for all eight sailors , which with a bit of coaching from the safety boats everyone managed to come to grips with and generally sail well.
My picks were Kyle , Cody and Dan, who as the session went on managed to sail faster and faster although at times some people did miss the buoys ? right Kyle ?

Open Bic / Laser

With Pat out of action with a dud wrist and Jonah missing, it was only Dallas in the Bics and Casey and Jasmine in the 4.7 lasers . For me it was a very scary race and at one stage I thought I was dreaming because both the girls and Dallas actually listened to me and did exactly what I said yes exactly ! which resulted in them having a great race. Even Will commented on the speed . Casey came first and Jasmine capsized twice on the home leg, and we have decided to blame Aidan not us for distracting Jas because he wasn't there so it seemed fair right Aidan .

Adult Racing

With a fleet of 10 boats and initially winds basically north at around 6/8 knots, we set a start at the club yes it was downwind ( start boat broken ? ) with mark A at Runners and B in the Sovereign channel we expected a pretty slow race but good old mother nature came good with winds increasing to around 10/16 knots which made for great racing and a few capsizes . Mentioning capsizes the award goes to Michelle, as when she tried to avoid John who capsized at the mark in front of her, she turned too fast that the boat took off but she didn't which resulted in what we thought was a reverse half pike with a twist. Very good Michelle ! Oh yes, who won, Will with Tom second .

Additional Notes

For anyone interested, there is a rescue boat training day on Sunday the 20th of September so if you would like to help on the rescue boats but don't have the experience come along and complete the familiarization course which will start at 1.30 pm

Oops, almost forgot Kyles dad ( Col ) is taking photos of Sunday Juniors and loading them on the website so if you see anything you like and would like a copy just let us know or talk with Col on Sundays .
