 Re: Brisbane Training day on THIS SUNDAY 7th Dec | Yeah..we are going to spend the day discussing how our radically different hull shapes make us sail fast....NOT!!!!...
In fact the Queensland fleet is going to train hard, practice dillegently all day giving 100 percent, push each other to sail faster and faster, help the learners and listen and learn from an experienced 125 National Champion Chris Anderson.
This is how you learn to sail fast...by training with experienced sailors and this is how QLD has been preparing for the upcoming Australian Titles. This is why QLD has performed so well at past Australian Titles and believe it or not has little to do with hull shapes or 'pear shaped' masts..:)

| Re: Brisbane Training day on THIS SUNDAY 7th Dec | Confused....you are clearly confused.
Training hard = winning.
Training hard makes you a champion sailor.
Champion sailors can sail in ANY BOAT with ANY MAST and will still come out on top.
Still confused??? I invite you to come down on Sunday and train with the Queenslanders and learn from Chris.(whose 'big secret' to becoming a champion is hard work and dedication, not hulls shape or pear shaped masts)

Darling Point Sailing Squadron is at the northern end of manly boat harbour, at the Queensland Multihull Yacht Club (QMYC) clubhouse. Right next to the Manly Coast Guard. Hope to see you there.

| Re: Brisbane Training day on THIS SUNDAY 7th Dec | I couldn't agree more NSW Sailor! I believe that it has more to do with the people sailing the boat than the boat itself. I mean, I had the opportunity a while back to sail with one of the best sailors in the state in his boat (I skippered) and we came mid-fleet (which is where I usually place in my boat). The next week he sailed his boat and won the race. That's because he is a better skipper than me, he has more knowledge of the conditions and the location than me and better boat-handling skills than me. Not because his boat is some magically fast hull - he makes it go fast. It's not the boat.
People like that have spent so much time on boat set-up - everything in the boat is fine-tuned to suit them, they know where it all is and it all works for them and how they sail. They have also spent so much time working on their skills and boat handling and that is why they are in front.
Greg R, I've been to a few nationals and I'm not sure if we've met - what boat do you sail?

| Re: Brisbane Training day on THIS SUNDAY 7th Dec |  Thanks Chris for a great morning of training. I am sure all that attended have absorbed your words of wisdom. Thanks to North Sails for the use of the in(de)flatable. If anyone else would care to add their thanks please feel free.

| Re: Brisbane Training day on THIS SUNDAY 7th Dec | Thanks Chris for giving up your time to train the 125's. We all appreciated it and we know how busy you are. Very worthwhile we all learnt something. And the turnout of 15boats goes to show how much we all respect you as an experienced sailor and value your input.
Thank you to Norths for the use of the rubber duck. Thank you to DPSS for hosting the training day.
OH and goodluck at the Cherub Nationals to Chris(and Andy) over Christmas.
