Social sailing on Saturday was great fun with a few boats on water. Crew shuffled around to get a good sail in .

The coarse - very simple - marina to the corals and back .

Winds were light but just enough to shake the hanky’s out and get boats back by lunch time .

Thanks to all sailors attending and looking forward to this coming Saturday- meet 8am boat ramp carpark.

Social sailing was a great time - winds nice and breezy around 12 knot , flat seas with a small swell.

We had 2 boats on the water with a loose coarse starting from marina - first ramp long beach - run to 3rd ramp with a nice reach back to marina by 1130am just before the wind jacked up.

Thankyou to all sailor’s attending.

Bring your boat next week on Saturday mornings- meet @ robe boat ramp 8am weather permitting.
