New Double Handed Category

[heymacaulay]

I was looking on the Victorian website and noted the intention to create a new double handed category for juniors.

Are there many juniors currently sailing double handed?

Is this also likely to be run at the Nationals? :

hi all,
this sounds like a great idea who came up with it.
At Paynesville we have 2 boats sailing two handed, i’ve been talking to the kids about it & they say it is the only way they would get out on the water racing.

Both boats are a part of our sailing school, we have tryed to get other kids from the school to come & race with us. But this is only way we can get the kids out racing. They did very well to, the frist boat came 5 overall & the sceond boat came 10 overall out 17 for the season.

It helps being two handed where i sail because we get strong winds most weekends.

Hi Fiona,
that’s great to here that there is going to be a divison for people to sail 2 up, it’s a great idea. It should get more kids into the class, i will not be coming to the states this year but a bit down the track i will.

Can u tell me when the states are meant to becoming east of melbourne next because at the Gippsland lakes yacht club we have 8 sabres sailing every weekend for a club race & we would love to have the sabre states here because we have a big fleet racing now.
