What an amazing weekend of training!

Thanks to everyone who added to the fun!

• 32 Nitro Juice and 40 Nitro (Royal Cape Yacht Club – Cape Town)
• 8 Jaywalker (Henley Midmar Yacht Club – KwaZulu Natal)
• 15 Joint J (Lake Deneys Yacht Club – Free State)
• 30 Voodoo (Victoria Lake Club/Aeolians – Gauteng)
• 46 Freeport Shipping (Stillbaai Yacht Club – Gauteng)
• 7 Jalapeno (Deneysville Aquatic Club – Free State)

Our sessions focus points were:

• Pole height at the hoist
• Getting the clew on the pole for the “pop”
• Don’t sail too flat, little heel for slight weatherhelm
• Have speed at the start
• Work on jib luff tensions
• Check sheeting angle on the job – not too tight

After training on Saturday everyone met at the club and watched videos and looked through the pictures taken during training. Alex Schon pointed out things that we needed to work on, answered questions and everyone gave their input to help where it was needed. Sunday came along and the wind had increased so we all got to training in heavier wind and got to put all the advice received the night before to good use.
