14 Southern Topper sailors enjoyed an excellent day of ITCA training at Bosham Sailing Club's Cobnor outpost on Saturday July 8th.

After a short time of fun sailing with paddling games and the odd swim or capsize the wind came in abundance. The focus was on upwind strategy and tidal awareness. Sailors were taught how to chose which side of the course paid on tide in preparation for Sunday's Bosham Topper Open.
