Today was the second race of our #fevafever series. The wind was playing nicely so our instructor-novice pairs all had a go at flying their spinnakers. Congratulations to Feva 3 on their win and thank you to @rssailing for their prizes!

Our final 'how to run a Chipmates session' training for new AIs took place this afternoon. We've covered safeguarding, unlocking, rigging, session planning, locking up and everyone has had a go at leading an activity. Oppie limbo, blindfolded rigging and a boat part labeling treasure hunt were delivered brilliantly. You'll know who's on duty as they'll be wearing their snazzy instructor jackets!

Having our own Junior Fevas is very handy for teaching. In the second half of today's session, the rookies were taken out in Fevas to practise capsizing. Even those who hadn't been keen at first wanted to have a go!

Gorgeous day today for the first race of our #fevafever series. All three Junior Fevas were out with AIs at the helm, crewed by a sailor from the rookie or regatta fleet. Congratulations to this week's winners, W & M. Thank you @rsfevauk@rssailing for the prizes!

Feva Fever starts this Saturday! Celebrating the purchase of our three Junior Fevas, we're setting up a series within a series. Rookie and regatta fleet sailors who'd like to race with one of our Assistant Instructors can sign up to take part in the Commodore's Cup race.
Jen will pair up the duty AIs with a novice crew so make sure you let her know which weeks you want to take part. There will be prizes!
