Our two big boats, Cadenza and Kioni are racing each Sunday in the CYCA/Audi Winter Series. Everyone is getting to know one another and many friendships have been made, especially after a few drinks at the end of each race. Happy Hour on Kioni last Sunday was a great chance for the rival crews to mix and share stories over a few glasses of wine! The Kioni crew are now waiting for the opportunity to drink all Cadenza’s wine this weekend!
Kioni, having had a few small navigational issues, will have Paula on deck as Navigator, seeing she has been out of full sailing action after an unfortunate accident with a student falling on deck and breaking her foot. Paula reported that it was an accident and he is paying dearly in champagne!! Paula commented that the idea of sitting at the back and telling Damien (the skipper) where to go is quite appealing!!!!
Both crews have been faced with some strong winds and also some very light breeze so far. Things are coming togeather and different things have been learn't from the varying conditions. There have been lots of laughs, sore muscles, uncomfortable trips up the mast in a bosuns Chair, and a thousand questions. A lot of these will be answered on Tuesday at the Racing Rules evening where we will also partake in one of Terry’s legendary barbeques afterwards!
But the best part - some great results with Cadenza getting a 6th place week and Kioni have had a 4th , so with crews improving all the time, and extra training this weekend, we are hoping for some prizes soon. If your keen, call the office, we have some spaces available.
Happy Racing!
