Last Saturday I was fortunate to view the dinghy racing the safety boat. The conditions were perfect for me to shoot some moving and still footage aided superbly by Alex who was driving.
Over recent years a lot of effort and hard work has been directed towards the dinghies - both adults and cadets. The videos and stills I have taken prove how the investment in the cadets has paid off.
In the start video as the class flag disappears we can see Cory's Laser (minty green) with Emma over his shoulder. Sam on his Topper is there too with the other two Toppers obscured by the Merlin.
It is a credit to the YOBs and their helpers that so many youngsters are competing with adult dinghy sailors and also crewing on keelboats whenever possible.
Well done to you all !
By watching these clips you could be fooled into thinking sailling an I14 is easy !
