Junior Regatta and Barbecue 2024
Published 10:59 on 22 Jul 2024
On Saturday 20th July Tammy hosted the Junior Regatta and Barbecue for our junior sailors and their families. Plenty of fun races and sailing games were held in a warm, grey southerly wind; a nice change from the heat of Friday.
- First race was the Water Juggling Pairs - wheel barrows across the club lawn, Le Mans start; sailing while balancing a measuring jug; one person steering, one person juggling
- Second race was the Freestyle Tandem - points for artistic merit and technical performance
- Third race was the Relay Sprint - teammates take it in turns to race one lap each with a rolling pit-stop to swap skippers
Tremendous work by Stuart and Helen on the BBQ and Tim and William in the Safety Boat. Thanks also to all parents that contributed a salad or dessert or helped to launch and recover the boats.
This was the last Junior Sailing session before the Summer break.
Junior Sailing resumes again on Saturday afternoon 7th September, 2.30 - 5.30 pm and will run until the end of October.
Over the break, Juniors are welcome to join the Sunday morning or Thursday evening club racing - either helming a club boat (Topper, Feva, ILCA) or crewing for an experienced member in their own boat (Merlin, Enterprise or National 18). Speak to Matt PJ if you want more info.
Our overall winners of the Junior Cup were in order:
1st. Josie + Naomi
2nd. Arthur + Max
3rd. Joe + William
