Year 5 Sailing Taster Day

The Y5 girls enjoyed their own taster day at Weymouth and Portland Sailing Academy today. Unlike the previous Y6 taster day on Monday, the winds were a lot stronger today which meant that one or two of our pupils did indeed experience the fine art of capsize drill for themselves(some sooner rather than later!).

But to their credit all the girls braved the winds and gave the Laser Pico dinghies a good run up and down the course set by the Sail Laser school instructors. It was amazing to witness the transformation the girls went through from school pupils into fully fledged (and kitted up) dinghy sailors. Again, everyone had a wonderful time and many exciting stories were created to feed back to family and friends at Leweston later in the day.
