Training News
|
|
Saturday saw the completion of the first Keelboat training program. The two day course, run on consecutive Saturdays, has seen our first 4 graduates who are now looking for boats to help develop their sailing. The weather was not kind with day one spent on the marina and then day 2 up to 20 knots, but we got on the water and covered the required elements of the course. Any skippers looking for crew and willing to take on one or more of our graduates please contact Colin in the sailing office.

I am away from Melbourne for the next 7 weeks visiting England & Canada. Currently on England's south Coast with 3 fellow RBYC Brighton Icebergers - we are hoping to do a swim relay crossing of the English Channel this week. We need the weather to settle first however, before we can make the attempt.
