Zone Squad 1 at Chew Valley Lake Sailing Club

As Chew is only an hour or so away from home we left early on the Saturday morning and got to the gate in a queue of Toppers keen to get onto the water.
On Saturday our main aim was boat handling and it was Sunny & Flat & Northerly & 3-7 Avg. & Gusting 7 for the 2 ½ hours we spent sailing.
By the end of the day I had really got the hang of Roll tacks and Stop tacks after coaching from Lynne.
On Sunday our main plan was light wind trim, as there was hardly any breeze so we spent extra time on fitness before we went out.
By the end of the day Lynn had showed me how to improve my trim and to keep speed up in light winds.
