The stars were in action in the water last weekend.
Macedon Ranges locals, Emma Fitt and Lucas Geddes, are in the club's junior squad and both sailed extremely well in the light conditions. An 'All Female' Catamaran Clinic was held at the club over the weekend and 15 ladies joined the afternoon race. The wind might have been low, but the enthusiasm of these keen cat sailors kept spirits high. Some started, and a few finished, but for those who had their first turn at skippering, the experience was memorable. On Saturday evening, the club had an amazing opportunity to meet, listen and learn from one of Australia's most dedicated sailors. Krystal Weir has represented Australia at the last two Olympics and is one of the top ranked women Laser sailors in the world. She had all in attendance enthralled by her journey from her first learning to sail programs to her two Olympic Campaigns. Members will be given the opportunity to set off flares under the watchful eyes of the local Coast Guard. This will take place on Saturday, April 20, following the final race of the summer series at approximately 4pm. Bring along old expired flares. Also bring along a barbecue tea to enjoy afterwards. The Coast Guard need to know numbers so please let the club know if you wish to take part.
