Oppi Club
On Saturday 24th May Marconi Sailing Club held its first gathering of Oppi Club. This is a club centred on the Optimist sailing dinghy, aimed at budding sailors who are too young to take part in the clubs excellent sail training programme.
During the morning session great fun was had locating and identifying the previously hidden parts of one of the club Optimists after which some excellent colouring skills were demonstrated, colouring in pictures of Optimist Dinghies.
After some lunch, wet-gear was donned, more easily by some than others and two Optimist dinghies were “sailed” by the Opi Club participants, with a little help from some of the parents (well done Mitch). Whilst a third Oppi was paddled by a couple young enthusiastic sailors, this is a good skill to practice given the tide around Marconi and incidentally a great way to tire youngsters out.Once sufficiently wet, cold and sailed out, everyone retreated to the club house for a hot shower or a hot chocolate to warm up.Great Fun was had by all, large and small alike keep your eyes open for more Opi Club sessions in the near future.
Next session is planned for Sunday 15th of June.
