Capsize training

Postby Dreadnought » September 1st, 2016, 11:23 pm

There will be capsize training at 10am on Sunday 2nd of October or the following week if the weather is inclement. The water should still be warm so it is better done then than at the start of the season.

Please make every effort to attend unless you are certain you can right an inverted boat unaided.

Great idea. Sophia and I had panned to do it before the Nationals but never got around to it.

Weather for Sunday looks good.

Please be ready to go on the water before 10am. No need to get your boats out. We will just take one catamaran out with everybody else in the safety boats.

I am taking somebody out for a lesson at noon so if you want to have a sail on Sunday, then would be a good time.

Perfect forecast for a sail after the capsizing tomorrow.

However, if anybody turns up for a sail tomorrow that hasn't attended the training, they have to wear a mast float every time they sail for the next 12 months.
