RS200 training at Loch of Skene

Sun, 02 May 2010 17:33:45 GMT

Four boats from the RS200 fleet took part in a training event on Saturday morning, 1 May. Victoria and Ian Park from the club gave advice and training on sailing in a Force 1-2. The de-briefing included footage of our time on the water, taken with the club's newly purchased digital video recorder. Lots was learnt, and now we just have to put it all into practice!

A big thanks goes to Victoria and Ian for their time and effort, Lucy Lingard for organising the event, and also to Ditta Rose for organising the purchase of the recorder.
