Good Luck Jessica



Jessica sailed out the Sydney heads yesterday on Pink lady in her attempt to sail around the world. In a week or two Jessica will have her tracker up and running.  This is the same as Justin and James had when they kayaked to New Zealand and the same as we have when we do the Sydney to Hobart yacht race.  We will be able to follow her every nautical mile of the way.

Join us tracking and supporting Pink Lady. 



Safe Sailing Jessica.

Congratulations to brothers Hank and Brett Beyer

Hank started training just a few months ago on his Laser.  The lead up included many hours midweek training.  Terry followed in the rubber duckie a couple of times videoing the tacks and gybes. After sailing Hank studied the video and then back out on the water to train again. His dedication resulted in a finish in the top 10 of the best laser sailors in the world. Congratulations Hank on your 9th at the World Masters Games.   

Brett won Gold, incredibly winning every race at the World Masters Games. Brett has sailed Lasers for about 25 years and is the Olympic coach in Singapore.

Wednesday

Hank Beyer is coming 10th after 4 races.

A huge fleet of Lasers are racing on Sydney Harbour this week.

On Tuesday winds gusted to 40 knots on the Harbour with many boats capsizing, breaking masts, booms and sails.  At the day end I dropped in to see Hank and even after two swims he was still smiling and waiting for the overall results.

By 6pm we had the results, a very happy Hank is coming 10th so far.  The last race are expected on Friday.

We will keep you posted
