Nearly time for Match Racing
June 4th, 2008
For the first time ever (I think), Queensland is hosting the a Match Racing Championship. I have a team. We have entered… I am freaking out!
The regatta is being hosted by the Mooloolaba Dinghy Sailing Club and Oceanburo are supplying the SB3’s for racing. The first time I sailed in an SB3 was in Melbourne for the Docklands Invitational, but I was crewing… This time I am in charge. I am the skipper… God help us all…
We are going up against some big names in Match Racing, including Katie Spithill (last time I raced against Katie was when we where mixing it up in the Flying Eleven fleets in Sydney as young tackers), however we need to ensure we keep our heads together and don’t freak out. (Just me…)
We are having our first practice session this coming Monday (9th June), which is also our only training session! Again… God help us!
Who can give us some racing tips? Some suggestions? Perhaps a word of advice when it comes to Match Racing?
Regardless of my nerves, I am really looking forward to the racing.
