Today saw a mixture of training and racing at Weymouth YC.
Initially Shannon was getting some one on one coaching in an Oppi, while the other sailors cruised around enjoying the weather.
Once the training was over, a few short races were held, over some windward leeward courses.
The blue Seascout Sunburst, after further tuning, proved to be the secret weapon, winning all its races with relative ease. It appeared to be faster than the Starlings, and the Beachcomber, in the 10-15 knot wind range, in all directions, even downwind without a spinnaker.
Unfortunately we did not have any other sunbursts for comparison today, but everyone involved thought it was going very well.
We have no sailing scheduled for Labour Weekend, however if the weather is good some of us will probably get out on at least one day.
Keep up to date with what's going on around the Manukau Harbour, South Auckland, with all that matters to sailing enthusiasts. The Manukau is NZ's second largest harbour, very tidal, and houses five active sailing clubs. It is on the west coast, and there is at least one big multi-club invitational regatta each year. This site affiliated with Weymouth Yacht Club, which is on the fringe of Manukau City.
