MCA South West Squad 2011 - 2012

South West Mirror Training at Restronguet SC

Session three of the Southwest training squad saw 6 boats from across Cornwall assemble at Restronguet SC. The day started out with a presentation on starting by the coaches, Tom Cosier and Alex Hayman, that gave the principles of a good start.

South West Mirror Training Session 2

The second sesion of the south west training squad saw sailors from Looe, Mounts Bay, Penzance and Restronguet, gather at Restronguet, Falmouth. We sailed in a light breeze, the total opposite of the first session which involved several capsizes and lots of swimming.

MCA South West Squad 2011 - 2012

Plans are coming together for the MCA South West Squad 2011 - 2012. Here are the key points

Venue: Restronguet Sailing Club - Because we can sail in pretty much all conditions
Dates: All Saturdays, February 18 and 25 and March 3, 17, 25 and 31st
Coach: Alex Heyman (from Sidmouth, successful Mirror helm, 7th in 2011 Nationals)
Price: None fixed yet, but certainly lower than this year, which was £75 per sailor or was £15/day
Requirements: No more than one adult in a boat and helm to be a club racer. All to be members of the UK Mirror Class Association
Maximum number is 8 boats, but we will think how we can manage more
Another reason to run at Restronguet and over consecutive weeks is that we can leave boats in the dinghy park rigged.
