SBSC Sailing Course Week 1

A super sunny start to the course at Sutton Bingham was enjoyed by pupils, staff, instructors and parent spectators alike. The girls were very surprised to be set free onto the water within 30 minutes of arriving at the sailing club. But after some specific coaching points on steering and sail control, the instructors had planned in week 1 for the 12 young sailors to experience at first hand the joy of sailing, some for the first time.



The girls paired up for this first outing and spent an enjoyable hour sailing the Toppers up and down the water in view of the spectators watching from the the club house. Thankfully, there were no first day capsizes, (although one or two came quite close at times). All the girls came off the water having enjoyed this first outing and looking forward to the next one.
