SOCIAL SAIL 24 June 2017

With very little on the sailing calendar, the only sailing available to team YOLO is to do the odd social sail. So following a Crew lunch at RCYC, headed out into the bay. a Southerly blowing between 10-14knots, flat seas with a slight Westerly ground swell pushing against. Air temp was quite chilly.. Headed out under full sail.. in the bay was the Youth regatta happening.. so when in proximity decided to watch.. and dropped the jib, option to sail around the course watching the racing with he main only. We watched two races and then hoisted jib and headed back to harbour sailing up the full harbour in the process.. Good to be on the boat.. and great to have the core crew aboard: Dale, Ian, Sieger, Shane and Cath.

SOCIAL SAIL 17 June 2017

With the weather and the lack of inclination, finally we were able to make up and take a sail on the bay again. Weather was a Light NW going SW with around 8-10knots... and a left over swell on the Bay. Sailing was pleasant... but headed over the the Lipton Sail off which was happening near the Woodbridge mark..(The Sail off on who will represent RCYC), we spent out time watching the racing sailing up and down the course while making sure that we kept well clear of the competitors.. (In the end Dre won this challenge.. Well done to him and his team, I think good for Lipton to have him back on the course) Then leisurely back to Port.. Aboard were: Dale, Ian, Arran and Amy(Arran's Significant other)
