Our last start racing day was very well attended and it was great to see lots of new racers on Sunday. Our regulars were very encouraging and supportive which made it a really nice day.

Look forward to seeing you there.

Thanks Steve Bishop for the write up and Race report of our Start Racing initiative.

Sara did a fantastic job of organising the training session on the water before club racing began, with a good number attending and Hugh Brooks bringing their demo boat out on the lake.

Set sail for a summer adventure at our Boat Camp for Teens! 🚤🌊 Open to ages 8-16, it's the perfect place for young sailors to sharpen their skills and enjoy a mix of coaching and fun activities. With a BBQ on Wednesday and family camping from August 25-27, it's an experience you won't want to miss. All abilities welcome! 🏕️⛵

What a fantastic turnout for Sunday's informal pre-race coaching session! ⛵️

A huge thank you to Rob and Sara for leading an excellent session on rolling starts, and to Martin and Steve for their lunchtime and afternoon race clinics.

The day also included a novice race briefing, followed by a novice start, giving those new to racing the opportunity to learn the race format, ask questions, and practise sailing the course without the pressure of a busy start line. It was fantastic to see so many sailors building confidence and developing their racing skills.

We'll definitely be running more coaching sessions throughout the season, so if there are any topics or areas you'd like us to cover, let us know in the comments—we'd love to hear your ideas!

Thanks again to everyone who came along, and to our volunteers for making it such a successful day. See you on the water! 🌊⛵️

Article by Hannah Rose:

The 2026 Hunts Mirror Weekend gave us two contrasting days of a lot of wind and very little! With a smaller fleet than usual due to some missing regulars, five boats overall braved the gusts on Saturday and practised starts, short races and sailing in windy conditions.

On Sunday, five boats again summoned a different type of bravery and exercised every ounce of concentration to tackle the shifty, patchy and occasionally non-existent winds.

With the fleet made up of five completely different boats in terms of hull, rig, crew and spinnaker, some very close racing saw Ron Vass taking all three wins, Helen and/without Bronwyn fought to come in second place in their newly launched boat and Hannah/Mike held up the gaff rigs to take third.

Special mentions:

• This was our youngest crew's first day in a Mirror, which sadly came to a premature end after an unceremonious dunking by her mum - hopefully she'll be back in the boat soon!
• Ron for winning his first event Open Meeting!

Afternote: Although results were taken from finishes as a fleet overall, thanks to Ron Vass for working out a series of PYs taking into account the differences in rig, spinnaker and crew. Interestingly the first three positions remained the same!
