   Although I'm not a hero, my first open meeting was a 
 Graduate junior event near Huddersfield in the 1980's. I was so inexperienced that I called water, at 12 boat lengths. But it was a good learning curve, and I later went on to win the clubs junior trophy. I would like to think that the Knowledge I gained from the junior Nationals may have helped. Do not allow the nipper to be disheartened, I have learnt sooo much since then..... It is all down to natural skill, a good boat, and time/expeience on the water... Crewing for a good helm, taught me soo much, however the RYA process dosn't seem to allow for that.... I am sure if he was to crew, a dinghy legend (Pat Blake, Tom Stewart Et Al), then he would pick up all the intracicies involved. Jon | |
