Llandegfedd Sailing Club

23 boats joined the club racing for yesterdays Junior Takeover (where the junior coaching team run the racing)! It was brilliant to see so many out enjoying the fantastic (if slightly gusty) conditions.

We had some sailors who are brand new to club racing join us - and find out it’s not as scary as people sometimes think. It was also lovely to see junior sailors bring their parents along to race with or against.

And it’s always exciting when one of the youth sailors wins one of the races, beating some very experienced adults - well done Daisy!

This summer a group of volunteers have been working hard to run some social sailing sessions. It’s been great to see some of our newer members take to the water and build their confidence.

Make sure you are on the members Social Sailing WhatsApp group for more information.

See you all at club racing tomorrow? ⛵️

Look at the juniors having all the fun! Maybe we need a whole club water fight. 🤔

A massive WELL DONE to all of the new Senior Instructors who passed their course today.

Today was the first day of the Senior Instructor course being held at the club this month.

8 candidates have met the pre-course requirements and are now on their way to becoming Senior Instructors to help them in future work and support their local clubs. As a volunteer club, we rely heavily on our Senior Instructors, so having a few more to share the workload will be fantastic.

A big thank you to Ed Curtis of Marine Skills (www.marineskills.pro) for helping us get the course off the ground and traveling to Llandegfedd to run it for us.

Good luck all, you’ve got this! 💪

P.s. I would like to know how long it’s been since some of you sailed a topper?!

Well done to all those who joined our social sailing session yesterday!

“A brilliant day, beautiful sunshine, a good breeze and sailing until we dropped. Four 2000's and toppers made the most of the conditions. Thanks to Dave for doing safety, Sarah for showing everybody how all the boats worked, Chris, Guy and Julie for piloting newcomers around the lake until they became confident. By the end of the day all were sailing much better, Iolo had cracked the art of getting back in a topper and Lindsay learned to jibe the 2000 whilst flying the chute!”

To complete our President’s Weekend , on Sunday afternoon, we held the annual Pin race.

This year it was won by one of our club Juniors, Zac.

Zac is an excellent Topper sailor who showed a fleet of experienced sailors how to handle the very breezy conditions - and stay upright!

Congratulations Zac!
