There is Cadet Race Training run by me this Sunday, 07/07/2019, start on the water at 14:00.
Briefing is at the Sail Training Room at 13:30 – optional
Could all sailors, please change and rig their boats before?
Focus is still on Upwind Sailing and Tacking.
Special course with 3 windward marks!
We may cover man overboard if goes well.
Reason for not changing topics:
I tried this twice before, first there was hardly any wind.
Last time there was too much wind, sailors had to fight for survival
See you on the water:

Please, ask your sailors to look at the YouTube Channel “TBYCPicofleet”

Cadet Sail Training and Racing on Sunday 30th June.
Briefing; changed and rigged in the Sail Training Room at 9.30am, on the water at 10.00am.
This session is aimed at all abilities and will help our young sailors make progress with their sailing, racing and boost their confidence on the water. Participating Cadets should be able to beat, reach and run, at least at a basic level, and be able to sail to and from the training area.
We will be thinking about the RYA’s ‘Five essentials’: Balance, Boat trim, Sail setting, Centreboard/Daggerboard, Course made good.
