25.01.2022 Back again after postponing due to wild weather. Get in early for the discount entry. If not see you guys the week after down your way, sounds like 30 odd cats travelling for the jindy regatta between f16s and taipans. m.facebook.com/events/342334700332511

25.01.2022 Saturday - a day of mixed fortunes....

22.01.2022 Congratulations! Our club has been accredited as a Discover Sailing Centre for the 2020/21 sailing season. This opens up the Australian Sailing pathways for all the great sailing programs at LJSC!! Thanks again to Alistair (Who Dares Wins) - who drives this sort of thing! Watch this space!

22.01.2022 ISO Learnings - VLA champion John Jagger discusses boat control and handling. ‘MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU’ The rudder is the devil... It's probably not the correct way to start however that's what I think of that extension in my hand, the devil. My boys have recently become obsessed with Star Wars and they often have conversations about the "The Force" and "The Dark Side". Maybe I should start calling the rudder "The Dark Side" Every time I force the rudder, the dark side is taking control of me. Every time the rudder follows me, the force is flowing through me. One thing that sticks in my mind is a conversation I had with Sarah Ogilvie (nee Blanck, Olympian & Laser Radial world champion ) She regularly checks in with herself "Am I following the rudder or is the rudder following me?" The implication being is the rudder following my body movements and trim or am I forcing or dragging the boat to do something it doesn't want to do. Every time you force the rudder, you may as well throw a sea anchor out the back of the boat. Here's an example. You are going upwind and a gust hits. The boat heels and rounds up. You yank on the rudder to try and make it bear away. (You have just thrown a sea anchor out the back). Eventually you ease sheet and manage to get the boat flat and your bow back down, the rudder is back to neutral. You just followed the rudder. Now a different scenario, a gust hits, or just before the gust hits, you ease mainsheet, you hike harder, you move your shoulders back and roll onto your back leg. You have just adjusted trim for a change in wind speed and apparent wind, you have prevented healing of the boat to leeward and you have moved your centre of resistance back. Three things, ease, hike harder, shoulders back but now you have balance and you haven't had to yank on the tiller. You haven't thrown out the sea anchor. Instead of rounding up and yanking on the tiller, you have created balance. But I hear you say "Brody and Casey are always using their tiller, their tiller is hardly ever stationary". But is the tiller following them or are they following the tiller? I bet if they relaxed their grip, what you would see is the tiller responding to their trim and balance. I often comment to people they should pretend they are on a windsurfer. A windsurfer hasn't got a rudder so how does it bear away? Balance. They shift the centre of effort forward by moving the mast forward, ease leach tension by letting the wishbone out, weight on a rail and in the right part of the board to help steer and balance out the forces. How do we bear away on a laser? drop leach (mainsheet and vang), weight (shoulders) back, slight heal to windward. How do we round up? Tighter leach (sheet mainsheet in), slight leeward heal, shoulders forward. Remember your leach is your rudder, a tight leach and the boat will want to round up, a loose leach and the boat will want to bear away. So next time you go downwind and you want to dive down a wave to leeward, you need to loose that leach tension and the boat will naturally want to scoot to leeward. Or you could just yank on the tiller and throw out the sea anchor. Miss the wave, and the next and the next.. When lasers go out training, they aren't trying to grind out agonising miles upwind because they are masochists, they are practicing more efficient sailing through balance and not succumbing to "The dark side" .

22.01.2022 First boat on the water this season!! Well done Team Fang!!!

22.01.2022 Announcing the winner of the 2020 NSW/ACT SheSails Award Clare Alexander from the Double Bay Sailing Club Clare Alexander has made a major contribution to fem...ale participation in sailing through The Women’s Regatta hosted by Double Bay Sailing Club. Clare conceptualised then implemented the program in 2018/19 and 2019/20, and is in advanced planning (in a COVIDSafe iteration) for 2020/21. Clare’s vision was to engage females of all ages and abilities, including youth moving up the dinghy classes, women wanting to try their hand at dinghy sailing, women who had stopped sailing but wanted a way back in, regular weekend sailors wanting a special experience, and some of Australia’s elite sailors. The concept was a weekend with more than just a few races and a sausage sizzle an event that would provide access to boats, rigging support, small-group coaching, and short-course racing, as well as other avenues for engagement like gourmet breakfasts, yoga on the deck, lunch breaks, and a dinner with motivational female speakers. In her research, Clare found that women and girls are so often overlooked when attending regattas. For example, change rooms are often inadequate, and regatta clothing often has a male aesthetic and is not suited for women. The male-oriented environment was often daunting and had the potential to discourage participation. A unique experience tailored towards women was much needed. At The Women’s Regatta, participants could feel comfortable to ask questions during coaching and not be embarrassed to do so. The small group coaching allowed individual attention tailored to each participant, and encouraged camaraderie and support among the sailors
