Paralympic sailor visits the YOBs
 
megan_pascoeAfter sailing with team New Zealand and meeting the French, Friday night it was time for a visit from one of team GBR sailors.   Paralympic sailor Megan Pascoe turned out with her brother Sam to coach our Optimists.   Not only did this give our youngsters a great lesson in rigging and sailing the Optimists, it also gave me a lesson coaching from Sam.
Our youngsters also had time to ask Megan questions about sailing her 2.4 and thanks to the French team for leaving one in the club, a chance to see one.  I was surprised by the YOBS knowledge of paralympic sailing.

Olympic friends

nzl_team_shot_with_mark_buglerWith Sailing for Gold well underway and our guests out competing on the water it's nice to reflect on the memories we have captured in these past few weeks.

The French team turned up first with their Star quickly followed by the Kiwi's and their Aussie coach Andrew who did not understand the delights of 'warm beer'.

Three YOBs on a 49er

three_yobs_on_a_49er Weymouth Sailing Clubs youth section (YOB's) enjoyed the rides of their lives as New Zealand Sailing Team sailors took time out from their busy training schedule to coach and entertain the kids on their Olympic boats.

YOB’s co ordinator Phil Samways said “Apart from the Elliott boats which were being campaigned last weekend in a women’s match race competition at the national academy, many of their boats which included the powerful 49er's, were taken out into Weymouth Bay along with the clubs’ own fleet of dinghies.”
