Saturday 17th May has Week 2 of the Winter Championship Series with first start at 2pm and Sign On and Information Session at 1.15 in our ASC clubrooms. The Lake water level is still down and dropped a couple of centimeters since sailing on the 10/11 May weekend. We will continue to review water level weekly and advise on any program changes on or before sailing days.
On Sunday 18th the VIODA Winter Coaching program continues 1 to 4pm. Additionally there will be a group of six ILCA4/Laser juniors in for a Winter Coaching program It was pleasing to welcome 50 junior Optimist sailors and their families from other Victorian clubs for week 1 on the 11th May. The photo is from the briefing with the Green Fleet Optis of the less experienced Opti sailors in the background on the decking ready for launching.
The big event on the world sailing scene from 10 to 17 May is the ILCA/Laser World championships being sailed from Qingdao in China. This is the first Olympic class World Championship of the year. It has attracted 237 of the world’s best sailors from 40 nations, with 12 Australian men in the ILCA7’s and 8 Australian women in the ILCA6’s. Albert Sailing Club has a connection with Riley Cantwell having sailed a number of Winter Season at Albert in Optimists and Lasers, and Victorian ILCA6 champion Casey Imeneo at least two of our annual regattas. For the first 3 days they had fog, current, barely a breath of wind, and no racing !
