Saturday SheSails Race Day 30 July 2022

With a Southerly of 15 knots, 4 pacers and a laser headed out, sailing a triangle course.

Brennan and Murielle’s daughter, Erica, supported us all on the safety boat, setting the course, and doing an excellent job with 5 minute starts.

Two races were held with 4 pacer teams and Pancho on the club laser.

Participants were club members Julie, Murielle, Debbie and first timer Kody, with club members John, Lex, Maddie and Monique, giving assistance.

The last two SheSails Saturdays have been provided for participants of our SheSails courses, to give them the opportunity to learn the rules of racing so they can participate in this year’s Summer series.

What happens on the water, stays on the water …. that’s all we are saying! Lots of laughs, and Pancho practicing capsizing on his second time on the laser.

Thanks for volunteers – Brennan, Lex, John and Monique for their continued assistance in sharing their passion of sailing.

“Ladies Race Day” – Saturday 25 June 2022

Today was planned to give those members who have not raced before, the experience of sailing in a race. Little wind was forecast, but by the time we set sail, it was 9 knots, excellent conditions for beginners!

A course, similar to the course the club sails on, only smaller, was set, with 4 pacers and 3 X3s racing. The first race was skippered by our volunteers, Lex, Peter Fell and Maddie, and club sailor Tara. Race 2 was then handed over to the first time racing sailors, under the guidance of the volunteers, to race themselves. Result of Race 2 were:

1st: Kate Stock, Lex and Tarquin

2nd: Pancho and Tara

3rd: Celia and Peter

4th: Gail and Maddie (pipped at the post)!

We were able to get Race 3 in:

1st: Celia and Peter

2nd: Kate, Lex and Tarquin

3rd: Pancho and Tara

4th: Gail and Maddie

These days are planned in the hope that they will be “race ready” for our Summer Season in October.

Also thanks to Brennan for overseeing on the safety boat.

Next SheSails Day is on Saturday 23rd July.
