To the ABC,
On behalf of the students – I wish to extend a big vote of thanks to Dave, Nick, Alex, Trish & Graham, Bruce & Jenny and the Auckland Blokart Club who have very generously loaned their karts for students to use.
Also special thanks to Blokart for sails and masts.
The time Graham has spent with the students is much appreciated and is evident in the speed with which they are picking up the sailing.
The students are having a great time and fast becoming dedicated blokart sailers. Even today's disappointment of no racing has not put them off.
Thanks again to you Russell for all the support and assistance.
To Ray & Graham & Team Macleans.
It really great to see everyone out there on the track enjoying themselves. Your efforts have produced so really keen sailors and it a pleasure to be on the track with them. Their sailing manners are like yours Ray – impeccable! It is a tribute to Macleans.
Now Ray we know you are a good blokart sailor, it’s just that your performance varies a bit at times. You aren’t alone in that. Perhaps the team can give you some feedback so that when things go right you know what to do so you can hit “replay” next time. Time in the kart helps. I’m amazed at how everyone that has been sailing regularly have managed to lift their game.
If we can all share the knowledge of what we do “when things go right” then Team ABC will really be a force to be reckoned with at the Worlds!
Bring on the wind.
Cheers
Grant
