Mother Nature led to a lack of wind on several occasions, which meant that some races had to be cancelled. Nevertheless, the races that were completed saw the Club’s sailors consistently doing us proud. In this issue, we’ll be taking a look at races including the Typhoon Series Mirs Bay and, as promised, the full report from the 2014 Macau International Dinghy Regatta. The SLAM Sailing Centre takes a look at the one of the most important sailing techniques covered in the July Training Camp: righting a capsized boat. We share step-by-step instructions for dinghy sailors who have been on, but not necessarily in, the water for a while. We catch up with the Hebe Dragons and hear from their leader’s experience of sailing in France. In keeping with this issue’s international flavour, we also share a report on summer season racing in Phuket, Thailand. Don’t forget to keep your updates and stories coming in: achievements, announcements, photos, sailing tips and tricks—so we can share them.
