Great weekend for the Sandgropers, we had a very successful fund raiser (sausage sizzle at Bunnings) . Many thanks for those that helped.

Sunday was preparation for the coming season's racing which starts in earnest next weekend.

Everything was tidied up in the morning and the afternoon was a social sailing and an opportunity to have interested people have a sail in our yachts, plenty of smiles all round.

It looks like the centre sheeting on the seat needs to be back slightly to stop the boom pulling onto the mast

ok just checkin

Broke my wrist on Friday, not a happy camper.
Looks like I might miss the first month of the season.
Probably the best time of year for the doctor too.

Happy New Year All
Got the full cast manacle on Friday and I reckon it shouldn't hinder me too much.
Might bring the kids down early on Sunday for a bit of fun and see how I fare.

Great days sailing on the first club championship day, the wind was a steady 20-25kph and made for great sailing.The mini field is growing with 7 yachts on the starting line. The class5 racing was exciting as a great course was set by Ron.

Class5 8-02-2015

Fields were down due to extreamily hot weather but those that turned up had a great days racing . Only a couple of 5.5 turned up and raced with the class5 yachts. Howard AUS23 sailed my 5.6 on the day and ended up third (dam thing beat my class5 in one race) well done Howard. Barry AUS4 got his class5 going real well on the day and ended up second. It was very close racing by all,all day and was very challenging with the constant dropping off and changing of wind direction.
Every one bogged in and helped with setting up and putting away the racing equipment (thanks everyone)
