Learn to sail report Saturday 20/02/2016

22/2/2016

 
This week 7 hardy kids came to pit their skills against the conditions. A nice warm day around 26 degrees Celsius with around 6 – 8 knot southerly breeze was the order for the day. After some discussion around sailing in moderate wind conditions. IE To stop the boat tipping focus on leaning and mainsheet control (letting the rope out in a controlled manner when starting to tip). Also focus on controlling the boat by keeping hold of the tiller and main sheet. This week the little rubber dickie was manned by 2 of the parents and a triangle course was set.

This week Trevor myself and 1 or 2 parents stood in the water to direct traffic. As the wind appeared to strengthen slightly as we set out we ended up sticking to a reach across the shore and turning by pushing (if facing the sail correctly turned the young sailors into the wind avoiding a jibe and possible bump on head in the strengthening wind conditions). James settling in to the conditions very quickly leading the way. After seeing how well he was going a number of the other kids ended up settling down and set off in hot pursuit. The learn to sail year is approaching an end. There are only 3 more learn to sail sessions.
​

  • Saturday 27th Feb 2016 – Junior sailing is on. Note: Youth Regatta is also on at IYC – let me know if interested in participating and I can give you further information.
  • Saturday 5th of March 2016 – NO LEARN TO SAIL. Catamaran Regatta at PKSC “Katagatta”
