Week 5 Holiday Camp recap!
We kicked off the week by focusing on teaching the fundamental skills of sailing—covering the points of sail, parts of the boat, and how to rig an Opti and a Pacer. Once on the water, we sailed to Clifton Gardens and around Shark Island. The group had the opportunity to enjoy lunch, go for a swim, and spend time at the playground.
Later in the week, as the wind picked up, coaches organized onshore activities such as capsize drills, races, and relay challenges, which the group thoroughly enjoyed. On the final day, we took the group back to Clifton Gardens aboard Escort, where they had lunch and another swim.
Overall, despite the varying conditions, the week provided a perfect balance of learning, adventure, and fun, ensuring that every participant gained valuable sailing experience while making the most of their time on the water.
