Ten women attended the Laser Coaching session today at French Bay Yacht Club. Women from all over NZ attended: Port Ohope, Worser Bay, Point Chevalier, Pupuke, Panmure and French Bay participated.
A nice 15-25 knot breeze gave us some challenging conditions to apply our tips from our two fantastic coaches: Rachel Basevi and Jim Quinn. There were some acrobatic pirouettes around the reaching, windward, leeward course but eventually each Laser was going faster. Everybody came back with some new knowledge that they will apply while racing at their respective clubs.
So a big thank you must go to Rachel and Jim for sharing their experience and giving us valuable personalised feedback to each of us, we really appreciated it. A special thanks needs to go to French Bay for hosting such a fantastic event, we all enjoyed the yummy baking after a hard day sailing.
There is another great event next week for Women Laser Sailors, the Auckland Women's Laser Championship at French Bay Yacht Club on 19th April. 8:00am registration, 9:00am briefing and 9:30am Start. Make sure you all attend!
