South West RS Feva Winter Training at Bristol Corinthian Yacht Club

by Roger Boyle 11 Jan 2016 15:39 GMT 9-10 January 2016

Thirty-four keen Feva sailors from across the South West gathered at Bristol Corinthian Yacht Club for the second of four winter training sessions.

Expert coaching in the form of Bex Partridge and Charlie Makepeace made the weekend a great experience for all levels of ability despite very variable conditions that ranged from flat calm to gusts of 30 to 35 knots with driving rain to go with it.

The participants travelled from far and wide including South Cornwall, the Midlands, Wales and the Isle of Wight but all enjoyed the excellent hospitality at BCYC all organised immaculately by Sally Campbell and the team of club volunteers.

Next stops: Chew Valley 30/31 Jan and the re-arranged Royal Torbay 30/4, 1/5. Contact Sally if you would like to book and haven't done so already. We may be able to help find partners for single sailors:
