Many thanks to James Eyre and Conor Desmond, who arranged a well attended Crew Muster early on Saturday morning at the Clubhouse.
Hearty Irish Breakfasts were available from Cafe B-Calmed, with sail training videos, and a talk by James on sailing basics with a question and answer session.
Plans to get afloat for some practical experience didn’t work out this time, but this looks like an excellent format for future events.
James has promised talks on sail trim, racing techniques, and any other topics of interest to members. There may be sessions with invited speakers from ISA and other organisations.
The plans afloat are to mix and match crews and visitors and try out some techniques covered in the theory sessions, or have the fun of sailing on a different yacht, or of coaching a novice on the basics.
With more yachts afloat, and over 20 visitors racing with us this year so far, we’re sure to have a fun day at the next session.
Watch this space for dates and details.
