2 of our pirates become "National Pirates"

Dear All

We can be proud that we have 2 participants of our group have advanced
to the National Level of Sea Bird Sailing :)

As you all know there was a National Seabird Competetion held on 4th
and 5th April at RBYC. This is a fleet race spread over 2 days and
comprises of upto 7 races with handicaps. The winner is decided by a
cummulative scoring out of thee 7 races.

There were a total of 12 boats in this race and we did 6 races as
there was a drop in the wind. I was a part of a crew for the boat
Cormorndel and was lucky to get a last minute entry. My job was
primarily to handle the runners and the keel (center board). Frankly
speaking it was an amazing experience to participate in the Nationals
in just the 2nd week of getting into sailing. I think we should NOT
miss any such opportunities if we get one. We finished in the 10th
position without any penalties :p

My helm and his team were ofcourse serious about winning, we tried a
lot of tactics and watever these sailors use to win but ultimately
decided to to give others a chance to win this time :) (kidding .. )
The boat which untimately won was called "Sea Eagle" and the crew on
this one was a 2 time national Laser gold medalist (so now u know why
we dint win....)

We had a nice award ceremony in the evening with dinner and cocktails
signing off 2009 seabird national race event.

Maria in our group now has the honour of becoming the first lady
pirate of our group to have participated in such an event :)
Congratulations to her !!

Maria - You should share your experience with all of us.

Happy Sailing !!
