Try Laser Day 2023

A highly successful Try Laser Day was held at the Club last Sunday. The day saw eleven parents, partners and Club newbies try their hand at Laser sailing, under the watchful eye of some of the Club’s most experienced Laser sailors.

Drawing on the Club’s 5 learn-to-sail Lasers, plus Matt Wood’s Shore Thing, participants were given a capsize demonstration by Vicki, then let loose on the River to try their skills at sailing one of the world’s most popular dinghies. A light westerly, that turned into a solid easterly, kept everyone on their toes – including the 4 RIBs - with the occasional capsize thrown in.

A squally SE change was avoided late in the afternoon, with all boats safely packed away, and everyone enjoying a BBQ on the deck.

A number of participants indicated they would like to take the experience further, with initial bookings of the Club LTS Lasers for upcoming Club races. The Laser class is keen to grow its fleet of Standard, Radials & 4.7s, and is proposing some shorter Saturday courses to accommodate less experienced sailors.

The event was organised by Richard & Vicki Kornman and Laser Secretary Matt Wood, with generous assistance from David Rosenthal, Stephen Reid, Greg Cribbin & Tony Mulhearn, aided by RIB drivers Caitlin Gong & Lylah Turner. A big day on water!

Parents we encourage you to please sign up as an Associate, non sailing member or as a supporter, the club offers such fantastic facilities in a stunning location. What is a better way to spend the day than relaxing out on the deck or on the water.
