Sailing

 SAILING

Today we got to have a go at sailing thanks to the "Have a go" sailing programme. We got shown how to rig up an optimist yacht and then go to have a go at sailing them. We had 2 people in each yacht as we worked out to make turns and control the optimist. We also got to practice capsizing the yachts and then getting them back up the right way. 

It was so much fun. A massive thinks to the amazing instructors who taught us. Tamaki College for letting us use their vans to take us and for Mike for giving up his time to drive the vans. Here are some pictures of our adventurous day.

  9. Malo e lelei, Room 7 [ aka my classroom ]. How was the sailing in my opinion it was great. A bit scary at first but really a beautiful experience. How much people have capsized from the trip I only saw a few. If so a lot , were they safe?
    You would definitely be experts next time attending.
    I hope for the best on future trips. Maybe you should post about the hikoi the senior school attended to.
    Well done
