What a brilliant turnout for the final Beaver Winter Series this Saturday. 13 boats in total competed in a fantastic event sponsored by ASDA, Farmer Copley's and Boat Bits. With light winds and constantly changing wind direction the racing was rather difficult.
Well what a fantastic weekend we had at Carsington, perfect wind and the sun shone, what more could you ask for March! All three RYA squads joined together to get some experience with big-fleet racing.
The second sesion of the south west training squad saw sailors from Looe, Mounts Bay, Penzance and Restronguet, gather at Restronguet, Falmouth. We sailed in a light breeze, the total opposite of the first session which involved several capsizes and lots of swimming.
After six weeks of racing hosted by the award-winning online sailboat racing and training game, SailX, the Mirror class has finished in the Top-10 of the "RYA Volvo Dinghy Show SailX Championships 2012", finishing in 6th place overall in the UK class ranking.
12 Mirrors took to the water on Sun 26 Feb, on the day that The Sun on Sunday was launched, and appropriately the sun was shining, although the wind was rather lacking!
