Great sailing and windsurfing at Kulim Park, Tauranga today.

/

Kulim Park was a hive of activity today with people getting back into windsurfing as well as others getting out and enjoying some sailing with us.

It was also great seeing several families down having a picnic and going for sails around the Harbour in a mix of boats and kayaks.

With the wind forecast of strong easterlies the local windsurf crew were blasting back and forth.

With a promise of 20knot easterly winds tomorrow myself and Alex are aiming to head out wavesailing off main beach Mount Maunganui to get our weekly windsurf fix.

Perfect sailing and fun windsurfing at Kulim Park

It might be the last day with summer time but summer is far from over :)

Today a mix of ages and abilities are out enjoying the Harbour. In the photo 2 German exchange students step up from sailing the Topaz singlehanded and into the bigger more powerful Omega dinghy made by Topper. Our instructors are never far away in the Red safety boat.

As expected day 3of3 was fantastic

Despite the lack of wind we headed of across Tauranga Harbour to Matakana island, we swam and explored the beach, had lunch and on cue the wind picked up so we could all sail back to Kulim Park with big smiles and laughter.

The group sailed so well and fast that we ended up sailing unwind nearly to the mount.

Once back at Kulim Park we let the class free sail and try a mix of sailing by themselves, in pairs threes and even done fours and maybe 5 in a Topaz at one point. The Omega with Alex was kept busy doing trapezeing and flying the purple astymetric spinnaker.

This group has excelled, they are all more than good enough to pass YachtingNZ level 1 certificate. We will send then to the school next week.

A big thanks from for such a neat group lead by their teacher Fran.

Pete, Jules and Alex

Day 2of3 schools sailing

The group excelled again today, after mastering sailing round a triangular course we moved onto capsizing and using the trapeze on the larger Omega sailing dinghy. Give us s call to find out how we can get your school, class or group on the water. We use a mix of Topaz and Omega dinghies because they are simply the only boats that allow us to deliver safe courses with a rapid learning curve. In a typical GoSailing day we get a group of upto 30 happily sailing back and forth as well as playing some games. Whilst teaching sailing or windsurfing we also pass on important watersafety messages.
