There is Cadet Race Training run by me this Sunday, 07/07/2019, start on the water at 14:00.
Briefing is at the Sail Training Room at 13:30 – optional
Could all sailors, please change and rig their boats before?
Focus is still on Upwind Sailing and Tacking.
Special course with 3 windward marks!
We may cover man overboard if goes well.
Reason for not changing topics:
I tried this twice before, first there was hardly any wind.
Last time there was too much wind, sailors had to fight for survival
See you on the water:
