Lindisfarne has a group of young sailors just starting in Sabres.

Here's a few tips that might be useful. Click here.

Simon's boat  awaits paint and fitting out . According to Peter he will be someone to watch out for . Philip is still at the wiring panels together stage. Hopefully he'll be finished in time for summer.

Arie sailed a borrowed Sabre for the last race for the season and really enjoyed the fleet racing. Looks like Dad will be busy building over the winter. Looks like we'll have over a dozen by start of next season.

If you are keen to learn techniques for not losing places on the reaches check this out.

Yes you saw it here first -Peter of "Cool Bananas" fame has threatened to build a new Sabre and this time down to minimum weight. After initially claiming he only wanted to be middle of the fleet he has contracted the cometitive bug and by all accounts he has it bad.

Watch out for Peter . Once he sets his mind to the job he will turn out a beaut boat and challenge us all. Don't be surprised if he casually wanders up and turns the conversation to -"Now what's the best way to build a fast Sabre?"

Four young sailors took to the race course for the first time on Sunday in Sabre dinghies.Tahlia and Jake have just purchased "Gammon" and "Excalibur" respectively.Barry and David took out the club boats "Sheer Delight and "Mac 11".The tricky and gusty winds tested them all . Full marks to them all for the courage they showed in sailing the course.

David was probably best new junior on the day. Us oldies can't work out how someone barely 3 feet high and less than 40 kilos can sail so well. Ah well such are the skills of youth these days.

With a fleet of 9 sailing there was a competitive spot for all in the fleet.  Daniel showed the oldies how to pick the shifts in the first race with an out right win.  Who knows what he might have achieved if he had sailked all the races in the recent state titles.

More pics and results of states when I work out how to put them up.

Matt.

Held at Midway Point Sailing Club on the 11th, 12th and 13th of March. 14 boats entered, winds ranged from light and variable to 25 knots. Early leader was George Fish in "Precious Pumpkin". Strong breezes on the second day saw Chris Kiel and Matt Westland take the lead. The last race on Monday saw Chris and Matt battle it our with both boats leading at different stages. Matt held Chris off on the last leg to win the Championship. Jeremy Fish finished third.
