I am just back from three very successful and very wet days assisting Laurie and Robin with coaching our fast improving West Squad. Twelve young Topper superstars were put through their paces with everything from early morning PT to late night tactics and strategy (how do you show video analysis when the hydro have taken down all the power cables and the whole area is in complete darkness). Improvisation saved the day and movie night simply started a little late when the lights came back on.
Laurie got literally washed out of her tent in the torrential downpour of Tuesday night. Robin said "Oh was it raining last night I slept like a log" and racing on the final day was abandoned as the strong winds of the first two days finally fell away to nothing. All in all a great event, full of fun mixed with serious training and plenty of top tips. It is a measure of Laurie's coaching success that nine of these sailors will be at the UK National Championships next week.
Well done everyone. A big thank you to Loch Earn Sailing Club for being our hosts.
