After
the pretty extreme sailing conditions in the early part of the season it was a
relief to find broken cloud, sunshine and a modest breeze at Brenig for Try
Sailing day – ideal conditions to get novices out on the water.
Visitors
were already waiting to have a go when we started at 11am and by the time we
closed the gate at 3pm 76 people had signed in and, including those having more
than one go, we had got more than 100 people, ranging in age from four to eighty
four, on to the water in a variety of boats including Picos (ably manned by
junior members and the not so junior Alan Barnett), Wayfarers, Flying Fifteens,
cruisers and a Drascomb.
All
our visitors, and club members, had a good time with several expressing interest
in joining the club (one signed up new member so far, but more to come with any
luck) although the youngster who enjoyed the trip in the safety boat more than
the sailing hadn’t perhaps quite got the message!
Many
thanks to all club members who gave time and effort to make this a successful
event.
