in Fiji is our second home, and it’s always great to see the awesome young sailors at
the Savusavu Junior Sailing Club training and having lots of fun on the water.
Thanks to the efforts of many people at the Savusavu Yacht Club and donations from
Fijian businesses and visiting yachties, the Junior Sailing Club’s fleet has grown and
both Optimists and Lasers can now be seen sailing every weekend.
A record number of boats were out on the water on Saturday for the racing, and
everyone ashore and on the water was treated to a great show.
Seven Lasers and a dozen Optimists battled for position at the start line, with a
brisk breeze blowing and great performances from the young sailors.
 Rigging the Optimists |  …and the Lasers |
 Pre-race briefing |  Warm-up before the race |
 Waiting for the start of the race |  Coach Geoff: “five, four, three, two… Go!” |
 Round the buoy and off they go! |  Nice sailing for the Optimist team |
 Savusavu sailing at its best |  Going for gold! |
It’s a close race
|
 Extreme sailing here! |  Even the oldies gave it a go |
 And a great finish |  Great performance, team! |
Good luck at the Pacific Harbour Races next month!
