Shanklin Sailing Club

A huge thank you to Chris,Bob and Liam for your help today.

You're welcome.

Big thanks to Chris for shivering out there for two hours.

Well done to Sue for taking timings in four races.

And very well sailed Austin Dyer. No capsizes and three race finishes in plenty of wind.

Just a couple of tips for those that capsized, what I do and find helps is:-
1) I have knots tied in the righting rope about every foot or so (Yes it means more expense a longer bit of rope) Easier to hold on to.
2) I have a loop tied about 3 feet from the mast ball so that you can get a foot in to be able to get back on board with.(Yes it means even more expense a much longer bit of rope) Great for the older sailor.
3) I have the thickest and softest bit of rope I can find, saves my delicate little hands.( more expense)
4) I try not to capsize.(My son Ian has never capsized )
