Thursday Snippets, 31 May

On Saturday 2nd June we have Winter Series 3 club race at 2pm. For juniors there is a resail of the annual Verna Templeton race from 2.15 and final Term 2 junior green fleet sailing from 1pm. BBQ on club deck at 4.30 for juniors, their parents and all ASC members. ASC training boats again available for members and can be booked in advance on sailing@albertsc.org.au, otherwise on the day. The Victorian Optimist Association winter training program based at Albert Sailing Club commences on sunday 3rd, 1 to 4pm. Also MS Walk around Lake on sunday morning.
Saturday 26 May a good sized fleet participated in three short trapezoid course races in the ASC – APYC short course event. Sailing was in perfect autumn conditions with maximum 19 degrees temperature and 5 to 10 knot northerly breeze. For the first time we had all 4 of the club’s new RS Zests racing with their yellow mainsails and jibs. Also three Mirrors with red sails and spinnakers, and a couple of Pacers, one of which was sailed by a new ASC family. All up six parent-child combinations were out sailing, 10 juniors in Optimist/club Ozi Optis and senior members and some winter members out in single handed classes made for a good ASC fleet with promise for the future. The two Zests were also taken out on sunday at the monthly social sailing day, with one of them sailed by a couple of visitors from Port Melbourne Yacht Club following an invite to PMYC members to sail with us on the Lake.
