Family sailing since 1963
Beautiful warm weekend; it felt like summer, but the water was still cold and the wind was very strong and gusty.
Brian and Wendy took their Lasers out for some practice sailing on Saturday.
Later in the day Dave and his friends took the Nacra out to wash out the cobwebs.
Weather was nice for the annual club clean-up day. Good turnout resulted in lots of work accomplished. Boats were set up in the yard, the lawn mowed, the buildings cleaned, and the club is ready to go for another season.
Thanks to Deb and Brian for organizing a BBQ lunch for all in attendance.
The board held a meeting at lunch time.
On Sunday, we had a good turn out for training on how to use the club motorboats.
Saturday was rather grey and drizzly, but five keel boats headed out to the start line. The wind was fairly light, but steady, and the weather improved as the afternoon went on.

We had a good stiff breeze, mostly from the South, fairly steady in direction, but variable in strength. In consideration of this wind, Penny and Anna chose to sail in Optimists. Only two optimists raced, so the results are recorded here just for interest sake.
In race 3, Craig B focused on coaching Cole, giving Roger a chance to take the lead…

Congratulations to Cole Baker on his first place in the third race.
We went out in inclement weather, with occasional gusty breezes from WSW. The sun broke through the clouds after the first couple races. Three boats out, keen to have four races.

Hot day, with just enough wind to hold three races. Some frustrating moments getting around the windward mark.
Congratulations to Cindy, who won the second race.

Once again, fiddly winds, but 5 Laser radials on the start line. As everyone was in the same class of boat, no handicaps to calculate!
