weekly sailing report w/e 24 May 2013 Dinghy Racing - Racing was put on hold last week end as the club ran its annual come and try sessions, in conjunction with the RYA “Push the Boat Out” week end. A total of 28 people attended and experienced time on the water in a selection of 15 different sailing craft and the 5 club safety boats. Amazingly the weather gods were kind providing a beautiful sunny week end with light winds so those novices who wanted to had the chance to helm their own boats with only a few capsizes! An enjoyable and successful week end, made possible by the efforts of volunteer club members both on and off the water. Many thanks to all, and to Pembrokeshire Activity Centre for the loan of one of their boats. For those newcomers who wish to continue there will be supervised sailing on Saturday afternoons; if interested Email secretary@tenbysailingclub.org.uk, or phone Blake on 017717842713 or 01834 842535. Normal racing resumes this week; starting Sundays at 10.30 and Wednesdays at 7.30. Juniors - Last Wednesday saw 20 dinghies and 5 ribs on the water for a busy evening of junior sailing, although the wind was very light at times. To cope with the large number of beginners the training time has been extended so that it now starts at 4.30 for a small group of beginners. Everyone else turn up at 5pm as usual. Many thanks to all the helpers; if parents could stay to help with rigging, launching that would be a great help.
Regatta New Dinghy Project Funding has been applied for and the project is moving on. Decisions awaited. |
