On Saturday we spent four and a half hours on the water focussing
on wave sailing, starts and using tethered rudders to get a sense of steering just
with the boat movement.
It was fun sailing in waves but some people felt sea
sick.
After a long days training we had a party with our coaches and all the
parents as it was our last zone squad and Drew’s birthday.
The club did a fantastic curry and we
presented Lynne and Duncan with some customised chairs.
On Sunday the clocks went forward so we lost an hour of
sleep.
I was the first one rigged but we didn’t get out immediately until the
wind filled in.
When we did get out we practised on tethered rudder again and it
was really fun.
We also did some races and Duncan & Lynn kept the results -
I came mid fleet in all the races and these would count towards selection for
the ET’s.
On Monday I got an email saying that I have been chosen for
the ET’s!!!
Thank you everyone at Paignton Sailing Club, Duncan and Lynn
for a great last weekend.
See everyone at Frampton in a couple of weekends!
