On the 8th and 9th December the RYA National Junior Squad arrived fresh and ready for a good weekend of training at Poole. The 420s were there for their own training some of which were ex-mirror sailors and it was great for everyone to catch up including parents.

Last weekend the 13 boats in the North NYDS were at West Lancs Yacht Club for our second coaching weekend. It was another brilliant weekend with a mixture of training, fun, and competitive racing. The main focus of the Saturday was starting, so we concentrated on slow boat handling, stopping, hovering and trigger-pulls. The wind was very light and shifty at the start but built through the day.

Last weekend, the 24th-25th November the National Youth Development Squad South squad had their third training weekend at Queen Mary Sailing Club. This was our first session inland so far, to be followed by a second at Datchet. There were only 6 out of the 10 boats normally there on Saturday morning so there was more coaching all around. It was around 14-15 knots and we went out to the other end of the reservoir.
