Sat May 23 & Sun May 24… BLiSS 2015 is about learning and racing in a friendly environment. As RBYC’s signature women’s event the BLiSS team believe it is a great opportunity for women and girls to take up a new challenge or further develop an existing one with the support of our men & boys. With the successful BLiSS training sessions now behind us we are setting our sails for a fabulous weekend on the water with keen competition amongst the OTB & keelboat fleets. The BLiSS team would like to thank Gavin Dagley for sharing his sailing knowledge with the 30 plus people who attended the training. All participants certainly went home with a few tips about our sailing rules, start strategies and upwind speed in varying winds and sea states. And although the weather was a little unfavourable on both occasions, all participants managed to get out on the water and practise the finer art of mark rounding, starts and sailing in light air that may prove beneficial to their BLiSS campaign and certainly future on-water activities.
