Well the new SA Sailing League event was run and won yesterday. Unfortunately the day didn’t go as well as we’d hoped for with us not making the finals series but it’s was a great experience none the less.
The competition was amazing and provided some exciting tight racing. Our lack of experience in these types of boats showed through compared to the other clubs.
With only myself having any experience in these style of boats it was a steep learning curve for all four of us especially with the spinnaker handling in a super tight race course.
Although we didn’t get the results we wanted hopefully we didn’t disgrace ourselves against some very talented sailors all while being one of the smallest country clubs in the state.
With any luck the SA Sailing League will give us an invite back again next year and maybe our friends at the Cruising Yacht Club of South Australia will let us come down and learn how to sail their nice new boats beforehand.
Thanks again to the crew for coming down and giving it a crack - Kirsten Thomas, Beau Delaine , Ben Clark and myself (Peter Dunk- commodore)
Ps we’re sailing boat #2 with our club sponsor Element Sails tops on.
Great job Dunky and team! With such a short run way into the event it was tough not to be able to offer any practice or training. As the event builds and the CYCSA’s new program develops further, the opportunities will only grow!
Would have been nice to have been a part of it!
Amazing stuff guys, was awesome to have you all here
Well done guys. 👍
It was good that you gave it a go. We did good for Cat Wackers
This weekend some of our members will be representing the club in the inaugural SA Sailing League regatta in Port Adelaide. Up against the states best it’ll be a big challenge but we’ll give it a good crack.
We’re stoked to have LBYC part of the event. Best of luck to Dunky and the team!
