Wind And On The Water Action For FruitBowl Day 2

While the weather report threatened us with showers - the sun and wind gods again granted the CN Worldwide FruitBowl with another great day for training.

Morning activities kicked off with on land seminars held by each of the coaching teams. Focus of the seminars ranged from boat preparation, to the start sequence and boat handling.

The keen Opti Green fleet practiced starts and buoy rounding right in front of the club for the on land spectators while the sail boards zipped back and forth across the lake.

The 420 and Laser >> coaches work with their sailors on sets and take downs and Sergeant Carmen Denis will need a new whistle after the relentless tacking drills she took the Optimist fleet through! Our Laser Coach, Colin May, jumped into a Laser for a while to give his team some hands on demonstration of coming of the line with SPEED.


Tonight the kids will retire early and get ready for tomorrow’s first day of racing.

First gun at 1000h.

Stay tuned for more updates.
