The trainees learned the points of sailing and then capsize practice. After lunch another big fleet headed out for Pennant Races 2 & 4 with three of the trainees as crews.
Last week we caught up pennant 1 and we sailed pennant 3 a few weeks ago so we still need to catch up Pennants 2 & 4 and they will be re sailed on November 5th.
A great turn out for our first week of training with a very switched on group ready to get into it. The afternoon weather was all over the place and we only managed to get one race in.
What a great day, we had some new faces around the club for come and try. A brilliant fleet with more new boats and some returning sailers, some excitement on the water and a BBQ to finish off the day.
Opening Day this Sunday which included our come and try in the morning, normal lunch with the official opening at 12:00 and sail past at 12:30 with the Scott Miller Memorial race at 13:00. After sailing will be a BBQ and we would ask members to bring a plate of salad or sweets.
