Youth Sailing: Back-to-Back Events
Two weekends, one action-packed sailing weekend!
Our Youth Sailing team enjoyed an exciting back-to-back weekend of sailing, with a Night Sailing 2.0 followed by the Monthly Dinghy Race on 19 & 20 September.
The Night Sailing provided our young sailors with a unique opportunity to experience sailing after sunset. Sailors of all ages showed up on Saturday evening to join this year’s night sailing event equipped with lights, decorations and strong will to win the best lit/dressed up boat this year. It was fun to see boats glowing in the dark at CSC, with members cheering the participants and giving all the support. A unique experience truly enjoyed by all the participants. With 15 boats took part in this event, top 3 best lit up boats goes to Elouan in his cool Optimist with eco-friendly bow sprit set up, Erline and Damien on a Pacer-parents of Elouan on a simple with classy lights decoration and Afiya with the entire gang of Optimist sailors on a “Christmas” inspired Pacer boat caught the judges attention of their cuteness and creative creation.
After the night sail, parents on land welcome back the sailors with good BBQ food ready to eat and music playing at the boat park area, good time to catch up for parents and kids. A big thank you to all the coaches, parent-volunteers and sailors for making this event a success! It was a memorable for everyone involved.
Monthly Dinghy Race, after an eventful evening, dinghy race is next! A total of 24 boats (ILCA, Pacer & Optimist) took part this month’s dinghy race. A small but yet competitive racing amongst our youth sailors. The day started with heavy downpour which discouraged the participants doubting that the wind may not come after the showers.
However, this wasn’t a reason for our parent-volunteers on board race committee boat to give a try, it was worth it. Easterly breeze filled in at the race course area and with occasional wind shifts, race carried on. The Race Committee managed to secure 3 races for all classes, a short but better than nothing races. A valuable racing experience under the tight-time and weather conditions.
