Dear Cadets and Parents,
Further to my message last Saturday, unfortunately the weather was not kind to us, and we could not do the training on the Sunday either. We had a short classroom session to look at a Feva training video and talked about right of way a little.

Nick kindly agreed to join us again and we are planning the Training for this Sunday. Forecast is promising, with moderate to decent wind up to 14 miles/hour.

We plan to do the training – and have short races at the end.

I suggest you plan to arrive at the club at about 11:00, go and change straight away and rig the boats.

There is the running event going on on the seafront, road is going to be closed, however I could not find specific information about the details. I recommend you expect delays and park near the clubhouse. We plan to meet at about 11:00 just to change and rig and get going. Launch the boats at 12:00.

See you on the water:
Andras

Plan:
– Change, and rig the boats straight away
– We will set a triangular course on the water near club mark 3.
– Cadets leave beach at 12:00
– Sailors sail straight to the start line.
– Warm up: figure of 8 around the start line
– Tacking on the whistle towards the windward mark
– One lap of the course, concentrating on sail position/trim (include 5 essentials as appropriate).  RIB is going to support sailors with advice.
– Two 2 lap races, small triangular course.
– De-briefing once off the water at the   Sail Training Room
