Sharks are back - the weather was perfect yesterday to get the Sharks back on the water. A gentle breeze gave everyone time to adjust to sailing again after such a long break. Three training groups, from racers to chillaxers enjoying the session.
Huge thanks as always to our volunteer coaches who give up their time at weekends and amazing to see the progression of our cadets!
