The Quarter Tonners are inviting the Mini Tonners to their Training weekend with them again this year – Docs have been posted at: www.islandsc.org.uk/racingdocuments.aspx if you are interested in joining the fun! Last year the event format involved a weekend's series of short races on simple Windward/Leeward courses in the mid-Solent area, from a Committee boat laid start line. There was a RIB on hand with an ex-Olympic Sailor providing coaching and taking video of the starts and mark roundings. After sailing the crews were de-briefed at the ISC with the aid of the video footage. There was also an evening BBQ which was a nice social with the Quarter Tonner guys, who were very welcoming. All the Qtr Tonners were based in Cowes Yacht Haven last year on the Saturday night and the event was a good opportunity to learn some really useful tips.

I hadn't planned to, but I will ask my crew if they are free as it sounds fun.

Cracking day on the water! Great short races with some very good close racing putting everyone through their paces with some top class on the water coaching and debrief over a few beers!
Should be one for the Mini Ton Class calendar nd not missed.
