Next SMART Session 5th September 2010

Smart Series is on this Sunday at 11.00am in the Members Bar and we are fortunate to have Mark Rimmington from Ullman Sailmakers .Mark will be coaching you on the water on your sail trimming and race tactics. Afterwards it’s back to the Club where he will give you more feedback and answer any questions you may have.

The series is designed for the complete novice or those who have lots of experience who will relearn some lost skills. This is a great oppurtunity for EVERYONE to train and race together to become gun racers. It is aimed at encouraging everyone, family, friends, aspiring sailors to come down and join in the fun and camaraderie of racing and progressing sailing and racing skills.

If you are interested in participating but are not attached to a boat, please identify yourself at the pre-race lecture and we will ensure you are placed on a boat.

11:00am Start in the Members Bar for lecture.

On water training at 1230hrs.

Breakfast / brunch will be available from the Café.

Come back to the bar for a debrief and drinks after racing.

The last Sunday of each month, there will also be a Sunday Sesh so get your crews together and enjoy music, mates and bar snacks after racing.
