Monday, January 23, 2012 at 3:59PM We have got an exciting programme for 2012, to which all junior sailors are welcome. Please read the junior notes in the Club handbook for details.
We start at Easter, April 6th, and finish with the Air Ambulance race and AGM on the August bank holiday weekend. In between there are several new or updated events:
The Junior All-comers Championship race. This is new. We want to get as many people as possible racing for this one. It is on July 29th. We will have prizes awarded on the day for different ages and boat classes, for newcomers and the more experienced. If you have not raced before but would like to give it a go, this would be a great place to start.
Club Championship. There will be three this year: for those under 12, under 14 and under 18 on January 1st 2012. Winners will be decided based on participation, enthusiasm and best results across the season, with particular emphasis on the Junior All-comers, the Oram, the Junior Jamieson and Brancaster Sailing week. You don't have to sail in all of them, just as many as you can.
On the weekend of 28/29 July, we will run two race coaching sessions. This is just after sail training week. Please feel free to come along. Everyone will be welcome. We will get some of the best senior sailors in the Club to go through boat set-up, speed, and some of the tricks of racing. The Junior All-comers Championship race follows the coaching session on July 29th.
In my year as Junior fleet captain I want to get as many new junior racers out on the water as possible. We will be on the hard helping you get your boat in and out of the water, and of course there will always be safety boats out to help. Do come and join in.
