Let's Go Sailing Keelboats

Julie, a CSSC taster guest, joined five members for a sail on our keelboats - two Squibs and a Soling. Having been greeted and briefed and issued with a buoyancy aid, it was down to the pontoon to meet RCSSC members. In the morning she sailed with Dave Grundy on a Squib in a moderate breeze, cloudy but dry conditions. She was soon setting the jib, pulling on jib sheets and finding the wind. Time to go on the helm Julie and she managed just fine, pleasantly surprised how manoeuvrable the Squib is and, with a good breeze, how Satyr quick picked up speed. A short lunch break and all change, joining John and Eric on Soling: Time Flies. The wind picked up at time and she was motoring along. Meanwhile Pete was with Dave on Squib: Satyr and Tony and Christine were enjoying their sail on Squib: Lift Off. This short video, pardon the pun, give you a taster of Julie's 'taster sail'. Welcome Aboard Julie - you did your self proud. Smiles all round at the end of the day and of course, we met up on the veranda to view the lake and reflect on a perfect days sailing.
