Lakers at sea with the sailing club
BRAY SAILING Club welcomed members of Lakers back to the club last week to kick off the ‘Lakers at Sea’ sailing programme. ‘Lakers at Sea’ is a fortnightly sailing course provided by the instructors of Bray Sailing Club to build further on last year’s partnership with Lakers which started with two ‘ Try Sailing’ courses.
The objective of the new programme is to provide Lakers members with regular sailing opportunities, where they can continue to build and develop on what they have learned.The evening began with a shore-based briefing before heading to the beach to play a few games.
Lakers members were then put through their paces as they were tasked with rigging their boats before setting sail outside the harbour. Weather conditions were extremely favourable for the evening, with light breezes allowing the novice sailors the perfect opportunity to refresh what they had learned last year and get used to being on the water again.
Some of the braver sailors finished up the session with a capsize recovery drill, to prepare them for any possibilities. THERE WILL be a ukulele concert on the bandstand in Bray on Saturday, June 30, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. The Dublin Ukulele Collective and Paris Ukulele Band will perform.
There will be a collection for the Alzheimer Society of Ireland, Wicklow services.
