Opening Day and the start of the new season!
And just like that, the new season is here!
The opening day was a huge success with many of our sailors dressed up in pirate costumes. We were grateful we had the opportunity to do a few sail past practices which meant our new sailors are able to practice in different wind conditions.
(Image above) Our sailors practicing their sail past at the VIP jetty, much to the joy of the parents who saluted them (image below)!
The race for the Commodore's Cup was held in the morning of opening day, a change from last year as this year, several of the juniors are also involved in the Keel Boat racing in the afternoon.
Congratulations to all our winners for leading the way to a wonderful season!

Plenty of pirates were about after the race! More photos have been posted in our Facebook page including some amazing aerial images.
Thursday training is in full swing. Please be down at the club to rig your boats early and ready for the roll-call at 4pm and on-water by 4:15pm. It is expected that boats will be packed and sailors ready to leave home by 6:15pm. Coach K will now be monitoring the fitness levels of our sailors and advise areas of improvements. Should it rain, extended fitness and theory lessons will take the place of on-water activities.

The first summer race took place on Saturday, 13th October. We had a bit of a wild weather that morning, but a good majority braved it! Kudos to all!
