Another great week on the water with the beginning of daylight savings. Wednesday night sailing has begun, the first twilight race was a success and normal Sunday racing swung back into action.
Twilight Race
We had 16 boats across both divisions showing up for the first race of the season with a fantastically strong competition especially in division 2. The wind decreased as the night went on from the 15-20kt southerly at 3pm to the 5-10kt SE once the racing begun. Race wins went to Mal on Wings in Division 1 and to Simon on Sail La Vie in Division 2
Sunday Sailing
In comparison to the long weekend the club was a little quieter. Our first Learn to Sail class kicked off with 12 Opti sailors hitting the water for Adventure sailing and Opti racing. After the Opti’s we had a afternoon race with mostly Impulses racing but also two former Opti boys Dan and Darcy taking on the 29er.
Wednesday Afternoons
Wednesdays are officially a go!! This week we had 7 very keen Opti sailors hitting the water enjoying the nice 7-14kt ENE breeze. Wednesday sailing is open to all dinghy sailors wanting to get out and get some extra time on the beautiful waters of Lake Macquarie.
