Winter Regatta

admin — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 20:34:05 +0000

The winter regatta is scheduled to take place this coming weekend and although the weather forecast does not look favourable at the minute, we do plan to get some racing in.

There are 3 very short races planned for Saturday kicking off at 12 noon.

Regardless of whether racing goes ahead or not, an open sailing meeting is scheduled for 5 O’Clock on Saturday, followed by a table quiz at 7.30pm.

Racing is scheduled as normal for Sunday but if we don’t get out on Saturday then we will hold the regatta on Sunday.

There will be prizes for the junior and senior fleets and a hot toddie/port for participating sailors and rescue drivers coming off the water.

Junior Training

admin — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 20:11:42 +0000

Junior Training is scheduled every Saturday until December. Saturday past provided excellent conditions and sailors practiced their light airs sailing with roll tacks, some taking it too far and ended up with a capsize! I’ll mention no names! Also follow the leader, some racing starts and short windward/leeward races.

This coming week looks fresher, and sailors are reminded to bring suitable clothing such as hats and extra layers. Starts are a big part of racing, therefore sailors should also have a digital watch with them where possible. Rigged and changed for briefing at 11am sharp.

Again, parents and others are asked to help out where possible/available:

Rescue Boat Drivers – (level 2 required)
Rescue Boat Helpers
Launching rescue boats
Retrieving launching trolleys
Future volunteer coaches…

The junior training cannot take place without other volunteers, please help where you can.

See you next week when Mary Farrell will be head coach.

Annual Dinner

A reminder to get your tickets in time for the Annual Dinner which takes place next Saturday 22nd at 8pm.

Also, lets try and get as many boats as possible out on the water for the commodores cup. It’s a perfect opportunity to blow away the cobwebs and make the nights celebrations feel a little more deserved.

The warning signal is at 2pm on Saturday 22nd.
