[Jerwood Family]

From the Dinghy Captain......
>
> Howdy all,
>
> With many of our regular laser and 470 sailors away at Sail Melbourne it's
> been a quieter week.
> Today was day 1 of racing and results can be found at the following link.
>
> http://sailmelbourne.com.au/website/results.html
>
> Well done to Caitlin Elks and Mathew Wearn for their nominations for the
> YA
> awards.
>
> Training: Arthur remains in Melbourne so we will continue with last weeks
> plan. Optimist training will be Matt Jerwood and Mark Wittington and as
> able Sean, Don and Will Elks will continue with the lasers and David
> Gilmour will continue with the 420. The board sailors are away (as far as
> I
> can tell) so they won't be training.
>
> The Singaporean optimist team have trained hard throughout the week, and
> in
> diverse and challenging sailing conditions. Thanks to Janet Jerwood for
> all
> her support and for being race officer for the 3 day regatta. Janets
> parents
> Ivor and Linda, had less than 24 hours to shake off their jet lag, before
> they generously donned their sailing gear and acted as crew, thank you!
>
> Saturday bronze optimist fleet is going from strength to strength, with
> another 5 children coming down to try out sailing. Don and Steve are
> doing
> a great job.
> Silver fleet now has so many kids we need 2 coaching crews.
>
> Just a note about "borrowing boat bits". If something breaks on your boat
> please seek assistance from either myself or one of the coaches. It is not
> acceptable practice to borrow from other boats, with out telling me or a
> coach.
>
> ISAF Perth 2011: Every day more international sailors arrive. This is
> fabulous, but it does mean some small challenges. There has been reports
> of
> missing gear from our visitors as well as from our own sailors. I can only
> encourage you to take your gear home.
>
> We are very lucky to be involved, at a recent meeting the figure of 300
> coach boats and 5000 volunteers was discussed. There are some fabulous off
> water events happening check out the Perth 2011 website
> http://www.perth2011.com/
>
> We will be issuing wrist bands in the next few weeks so our sailors can
> get
> in to FSC. Lisa who is FSC Liasion and housed in the dinghy office will
> organise this assisted by FSC dinghy committee.
>
> Committee meeting is on Tuesday night at 1930. Please feed anything back
> to
> your reps or if you wish to attend let me know.
>
> Kind regards
