Today we sailed in four to five knots of wind which was interesting. After the racing there was a Treasure Hunt and the Oppie sailors piled into the seniors' boats which was really good. I think everyone enjoyed it because we interacted with the younger generation.

Otter Week 2010 - Day One
Saturday 31st July 2010
The first day started Otter Week with a bang! After an excellent show of entries at registration, everyone rigged and launched for the first race.

Burnham Optimist Open Meeting
Saturday 3rd & Sunday 4th July 2010

Otter Cadet Open Meeting 2010
Saturday 19th June 2010
When scheduling an open meeting in June you expect to be hosting a beautiful, balmy sail on the Crouch. NOT TRUE. The 19th June was grey and blustery with black clouds building and passing through in big rainy squalls, with the wind shifting in as the rainstorms passed through and provided some very challenging conditions.
