Spring Dingys 2010

It seemed a week before heading over for our semi anual event in Victoria that we would have a small group but ended up with 18 Lasers , 3 420's (6 sailors), one 29er and 11 Opti's.

35 sailors all getting on the ferry with parents boats and gear is a super turn out.

We had great weather this year, with a strong sea-breeze the first day and a rainy westerly the second. It felt like March , more than May on Sunday, but great to have wind both days.

For some of our older sailors , they are just finishing exams at UBC , so a few we haven't seen in weeks came out.

We had a number of very new Laser sailors making one of their first appearances in a regatta. This is part of a transition group coming up through the Opti fleet and entering the Laser group with the 4,7 and the Radial.

The Opti fleet is growing and seems very vibrant at the moment, Tine and Chris are doing a great job motivating their charges.

All in all success in all the fleets,
