The SW Feva open training kicked off in style this weekend at Royal Torbay Yacht Club. 20 sailors, including National and zone squad members, sailors moving up from the Oppies and those new to racing-sea sailing all braved the 35knot gusts in Torbay on Saturday, demonstrating impressive skill and determination throughout the group.

Sunday morning dawned lighter, enabling the sailors to work on boat handling techniques before the wind picked up and the gusts came in again for the series of short races and afternoon split sessions. Weekend race prizes went to two pairs of brothers - Dan and Fin Armstrong and Jude and Eric McFarlane, with the prize for achievement of goals going to Julia Barnes and Lauren Paton.
