Sunday Winter Championship
Kirk Marcolina
Heats 4-6 of the Winter Championship take place this Sunday. Once again the weather looks like it will cooperate with a decent breeze and warmish temps (especially considering the recent cold snap). There will be a briefing at 7:45am for an 8am (at the latest) splash. Racing starts promptly at 8:30am. The Brett Beyer Winter Program also starts this week for those who’ve signed up for it.
If you are sailing this week please be very careful not to disturb the lawn resurfacing! The new irrigation and turf are scheduled to be laid this week. Please do not wheel boats on the lawn area, except in a corridor as marked. BE VERY CAREFUL not to disturb levels if not yet turfed AND NOT TO DISTURB FRESHLY LAID TURF if it has been laid!! This is particularly important as it will have just gone down. No hosing anywhere near the turf (we don’t want any salt water anywhere near it). No rigging, derigging or hosing on the concrete semi-circle outside the club. All rigging and de-rigging is to be done on the beach. Fold sails either on your boat or on the front deck of the club. Thanks for your help in making the Council’s returfing project a success. We look forward to seeing you bright and early on Sunday!
Early morning beach rigging. A necessary step as our lawn area is revitalised.
