This was the first camp of my second year in the Zone Squad
We are a squad of seventeen so we have four coaches: Duncan, Lynn, Natalie and Ed.
Lynn and Duncan will be at all of our squad camps and either Natalie or Ed at the others.
Chew is close to home so we got there in plenty of time for the new fitness session and the parents had their first parents briefing.
It was quiet light winds but there were some gusts that got us hiking.
Our main exercise was elephant ears to help our stop tacks and tacking and gybing on the whistle, which helps our upwind and downwind light airs trim.
On Sunday we had an earlier start because we had to finish earlier too.
In the morning there was no wind so we focussed on learning to a race officer, until the wind filled in and we could go yachting for a couple of races to finish the camp
Thank you to Chew Valley Sailing Club and our coaches for a good weekend.
