I've missed 2 sessions, but caught the end of the last one - no wind, but some fitness stuff and some games. Biggest problem at the moment is that the race group are not actually racing! Need to get sailing in the club race after the training sessions, folks, else all this is not worthwhile!

First session of the new race year: run by Tom, with support from myself. People a little rusty, but basically pretty good, tested by a gusty and cold breeze.
Did gut-buster followed by some other boat-handling work, then some races with intensive powerboat coaching.
The experienced people did fine, though need to work harder on doing it right all the time - the new people in the group were excellent for their first time out, worked hard, and have potential to do well. Especial congratualtions to Ria for winning the last race and beating Ben. Ben, work harder!

Welcome all! This is a publically-viewable weblog (blog) that allows you to comment on the race training, discuss issues to do with dinghy racing, and generally talk about sailing. Invited people are allowed to post here: if you want to be invited, drop me an email or see me on Tuesday nights!
