Hey guys and girls,
Just a couple of things from me regarding recreational sailing, racing and
events.
Firstly, it’s been brilliant to see so many of you out on the water last
week and yesterday. I hope your learning and that you’ve enjoyed being out
on the water. If there are any problems feel free to ask me any questions
or if you have any suggestions then please let me know!
At the moment the Fireflys are being fixed/cleaned ready for this season’s
team racing circuit. If you have raced before and would like to race for
the university then please get in touch with me as we’ll be running a
session(s) in the very near future to decide teams for the first event in
Leeds on the 31st October. I’ve talked to a couple of people but if there
are anymore then drop me an e-mail. If you haven’t raced before but would
like to, then also get in touch as we are looking to train up new
crews/helms.
Aside from team racing there is fleet racing championships at Queen Mary
Sailing Club on the 7th November, anyone is welcome to come along to this
event and racing in fleets usually made up of Laser 2s and Fireflys. Again
please contact me if you would like to take part!
Once people have shown their interest in racing I’ll email dates and times
of training sessions to them.
Could everyone make sure they’ve joined the Facebook group as there will be
updates and other info posted there in the not too distant future.
I’ll leave you with a joke:
Two people are out sailing when suddenly a hand appears in the sea.
“What’s this?” asked the skipper, “It looks as if someone is drowning!”
“No,” explained his crew, “It’s just a little wave.
Take it easy,
Fingers
