Cadet Open at Frensham Pond Sailing Club

 Forty-eight sailors arrived at Frensham Pond Sailing Club on Saturday 19 March to take part in the Cadet Open meeting. The weather lived up to the forecast - a base of around 15 knots but large gusts to contend with, especially in the morning. At least it was from the east, which reduced the chances of chronic shifts that so often trick the visitor to Frensham (and some of the regulars too). Bright sunshine brought out the first reminder of the season for suncream.

Many thanks go to Frensham Cadet Class Captain David Boddy and the small army of volunteers, which he mustered to help organise and run a fantastic event. Truth be told, all did it with pleasure; there's little better than seeing young people out on the water, gaining experience, competing and stretching themselves. All excellent preparation for the second World Team selector event at Pevensey Bay on 23 and 24 April - bring it on!
