The aim of this weekend was "brushing off the cobwebs", expanding on our previous knowledge and mark roundings. The first day gave us some challenging conditions with the wind being above 20kts.
In the morning we spent the time getting used to the conditions and then in the afternoon we worked specifically on mark roundings and had a go at some small races and incorporating some of what we learnt.
As the day progressed it felt like the conditions were getting tougher, whereas in reality it was because we were all getting more tired as the seconds ticked by. By the end of the day nearly everyone had capsized at least once, and we all felt absolutely tired, looking forward to a good night's rest.
Sunday was completely different to the Saturday prior and gave us a new set of challenges. It was roughly about 10-15kts and the wind would regularly shift.
We finished the weekend with some races with the 4.2s adding a sense of a packed start line with the final race being a fun race where we would run round the front of our mast whilst tacking - some people did get a bit wet.
Overall this weekend was a great start to the training and it was thoroughly enjoyable.
