Training final week

The trainees had a good session on the water today with the advanced group practicing starting and the beginners tackling tacking and jibing. There was a decent breeze making it a good learning curve for everyone. Ross has provided the following observations complete with graphics.

Pittwater Regatta day one

A good fleet and promising breeze as we headed out however as usual this season a very changeable and difficult breeze restricted us to just one race. So Now we have an early 10:00am start for tomorrows racing with hopefully seven races.

Pennants 7 & 8 Training week 5

Very light winds (again) with the advanced trainees practicing their skills and the beginners doing tacking and jibing on shore.

Anchor Wetsuits Trophy and week two of training.

Week two of training saw the beginners paddle and steer around a short course and the more advanced trainers out on the water but only observing. The Anchor wetsuits Trophy was sailed in cool conditions but in a nice little breeze.

Pennants 3 & 4 and the first week of Training

A reasonable day for the first week of training with the beginners getting a tour of the club and on the rescue boat a tour of the bay. The more advanced group got out on the water in a cool and slightly fresh breeze but all went well. Followed by Pennants 3 & 4 sailed in very changeable conditions.
