Otter Week 2010 - Day Four
Tuesday 5rd August 2010
The senior Otters braced themselves for an intensive day of sailing for their long distance race. After starting from the club line, the Lasers, 420, Cadets, Fevas and Toppers set off towards the Roach. Meanwhile, the Oppies piled into RIBs and made their way to the White House to enjoy team games and swimming.

Monday 2nd August 2010
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.

Today we went out for our second set of series races. On the way down the river it wasn't very windy but as we passed the barges, it picked up. We managed three races on a very good course.
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. This started with llight winds that gradually increased throughout the afternoon which gave us all a chance to spot where there would be stiff competition for the rest of the week.
Burnham Optimist Open Meeting
Saturday 3rd & Sunday 4th July 2010
We had forty-seven registered for the Saturday of our Oppie Open Meeting. The series was seven races and the fleets split between Race and Regatta.
Saturday was one of those balmy Burnham days with the land breeze from the west being countered by the ever increasing sea breeze. John Hardy, our Race Officer for the weekend, managed to get two races sailed before lunch.
