Tana's First sail of the year and YoBs

Thursday
Sunny day, forecast wind to drop away and a day off. Go sailing early and stuff the race in the evening when it would be formation bobbing.
Tanja and I took one of the club RS Fevas for a spin.

Forgot my gloves and T got wet and cold jumping out as we sailed back for them. BUT with in 5 mins she was warm again in the sun no probs ! Had a lovely sail in 6-8 knots of wind for 1 and a half hours. Then we headed home to tack up the river. Now the dropping wind was a pain.

On the good side we had a lovely sail and this has built Tanja's confidance. On the bad side we struggled up the rivr, I could have headed home earlier (But it was fun with Tanja in a small boat tucked up to geather for trim)



Friday YoBs
Biggest turn out so far I think. 23 Kids plus some big kids wanting to play with their toys.

I rigged a few of the kids boats and eventually I got to my boat. Bit of a rush but was rigged and ready in time. I launched with Martin, a MR sailor of old ! He took over to demonstrate roll tacking and then he went on to coach his son James who was sailing an Opi'. After a while I took over and I was shown a way to pop the battern.
We talked at leangth about the rig and sails. I think I need to change the main sheet jammer and play the main more.

A great sail. Thanks Martin.
