St Quay Womens Regatta: Day 1

Hi Everyone!!!                                                                                                               16/5/2013

Yesterday was the training day where we were allocated 3 hours to a boat for training in the boats. We utilised the whole of this time as this is our first time on these elliot 6m, which weren't too dissimilar to the ones on Sydney harbour, so it didnt take us long to get in the groove.
We managed to line up against the Kiwis and get in a few pre- starts and races, we were trucking downwind (love those waves!) and maybe a little bit on the slow side upwind, but this is possibly due to the fact we are not allowed to use hiking straps and they are 30kgs heavier than us... we are still working on better hiking techniques, hiking off any working sheets we can find!

Racing starts today - we drew boat 1 - always a good sign! We're excited and ready to give it our best shot!

Thanks again to everyone for your support! for more regular updates follow the WIMRA page (attached) with media releases from the regatta and race results.

We'll update you whenever we can connect to wifi!!!

lots of love

the MAKS Racing girls
