Going For Gold May Winner

The winner of the May Going for Gold Jenny Williams Gold cup is new Shark Amy Well done to her, see below to see how you can gain points to be the June winner.

All Sharks go for a Swim

Well another weekend with very high winds, so we thought we would have a go out on the water this week anyway.

New Shark Amy did brilliantly, even though it was her first go on a Topper, she stayed afloat (mostly).

There was Will, Amy, Rory and Gemma all battling well in the strong wind one moment and the next a strong squall came through and all decided to go for a swim. Racing round getting all back afloat, this didn’t last long.

In the end we came back ashore and had a hot drink to warm up.
All stayed ashore apart from Rory and Will that went out again a Pico to see if they could keep it upright. With a lot of dancing around the deck they managed for the most part to stay upright. There constant cheers and screams of laughter told me they were having fun. Excellent sailing lads.

Well done to all that had a go, hopefully we will have better wind next Saturday.

The wind did blow

Sorry for the delay posting, but I've been out at sea for 5 days sailing the south coast any way here is my report for the 7th.
The forcast for bad weather could have put a few off, but Will, Ben and Kattie had great fun on the water. Will expertly put into practice the tacking land drills from last week before entering into the last race so 20 points for him. James helmed his Dad's Laser 2000 in two races so also picked up 20 poimts. Ben and Kattie helped Jane sail a Pico and are looking forward to the next two weeks when they are booked onto the RYA Stage 1&2. So that means no Sharks for a few weeks while Jane and I help 5 new possible Sharks get to the water. If you have your own boat take part in the Club racing. Remember there are 10 points per race. That's what Eve did om Thursday night and went into an ealy lead.
