Hello sailors,
I had a fantastic offshore sail this weekend, filled with wind, water, dolphins, whales, jelly snakes and some great company. Designed as a training session in the lead up to the CYCA Bluewater Point Score Series races, it was a great shake down for me, having not done an overnight offshore sail for quite a while.
If you don’t already follow us on Facebook and Instagram, check these out now for a few happy snaps from the trip.
As the weather is warming up in the Southern Hemisphere and (fingers crossed) COVID-19 restrictions seem to be lifting, it’s great to see more people getting out on the water. If you have any sailing news or stories you would like to share, I’d love to hear them – just email these through to news@mysail.team.
If you haven’t had a chance to check out our new Club Search section, you can do so by clicking here or head to app.mysail.team and navigate to the Browse menu and then Clubs. We have some plans to continue to update this new section over the next few months, but as always, if you have any feedback or suggestions please feel free to send them to us by emailing hello@mysail.team.
Enjoy this week’s news stories, and until next week, happy sailing 😊⛵
