[ANU Sailing Club] This week at the shed + Teams Racing

[Etienne Murgues]

Hi everyone,

There is a team-racing regatta organised by the Grammar School, YMCA and
the ANUSC this Sunday 9th December. Team-racing is very fun and a good way
to memorise the sailing rules. Additionnally, this is the kind of sailing
that we are doing at the Uni Games so it is a good practice.

We are looking for 3 additionnal sailors to join the team. Team racing is 3
boats vs 3boats and you have to get the best combination to win. For
example, if team A do 1, 2, 6 (=9points) they win over team B 3,4,5
(12points). So it is not like fleet racing because you have to obtain the
winning combination and work as a team. If you don't have the winning
combination you have to block the other boats.

Send me an email if you are interested,

Cheers,

Etienne Murgues
ANUSC Treasurer
