Day 1 of the South Island Optimist Clinic Gets off to a Great, if Somewhat Windy, Start

We have had a great start to the 4 day clinic here at QCYC. First up our club host, Tony Robb, welcomed the sailors and introduced the coaches and buddy coaches.

After a “Fuelling your body” talk followed by expectations and aims outlined for the clinic, it was time to hit the water.

After a couple of hours on the water working on techniques we were back in for lunch. With a building forecast, we had an afternoon off the water getting the core knowledge of the sailors and parents up to a high level.

The highest recorded gust in the afternoon was 58 knots!

The sailors did an amazing job with an 8 hour coaching session and are excited for what we have coming up tomorrow.
