6th Annual Little Bird Dinghy Regatta

Hi Everybody,

Little Bird was a success with lots of wind, a great fireworks show, good food, a fun slip and slide (where no one got hurt), a talented band, and quite a few boats out on the water. I am most impressed with how many first time racers showed up to the event and how many of those racers were first time sailors this year. Our Little Bird trophy was given to Jade Johnston, who was one of our students from Killarney. He took part in the event with only a week of afternoon sailing on a lake much smaller than ours, and shows a lot of potential for the sport in the future. It is great to see that our Killarney efforts have paid off producing a young sailor who is enthusiastic about sailing. Thanks again to everyone who volunteered and made Little Bird 2011 a successful day and thanks to everyone who showed up for any one of the day’s activities. For those of you who were unable to attend, we hope to see you there next year!

Thanks,

David Duncan
Pelican Yacht Club Head Sailing Instructor.
