09.01.2022 - Written by Stephen Brook Sofiane Karim, is an 18-year-old French sailor, a sailing coach, and when it comes to describing his love of the sport, a poet.... You play with the elements, he says of sailing Laser Radials. You play with the water, you play with the wind, play with the current, with the clouds everything, he says. And you also have to take care of the boat and you have to take care of yourself. You learn a lot by sailing, that is why it is my favourite sport. Sofiane is in Australia on a gap year, coaching at Woollahra Sailing Club and here to learn English even though he can speak it perfectly. Home is Antibes (Have you visited? You must), between Cannes and Nice on the French Riviera, where the winds are lighter than Sydney Harbour and the water often choppier. Two months ago he swapped one beautiful sailing locale for another, for Sydney offers the additional pleasures of skating and surfing. I can sail in the morning and go surfing in the afternoon, he says. Tall at a young age, the Laser Radial suited him, but he is aiming for a Laser full rig or 49er, although he is a bit light for those at the moment but he is confident he can put some weight on. He was seven when he went on water for the first time, his stepfather booked him in for a holiday activity. The Summer holiday sailing camp lasted a week. But Sofiane immediately went back for a second week, and by the next month he returned a got a licence. Fast forward to now and Sofiane is sponsored by Banc Populaire. He dreams in the future of making enough money to live and sail. Also: Go to the Olympics and have medals there. And sail at the SailGP and Americas Cup and steer those boats. That would be the dream.

06.01.2022 - - Written by Stephen Brook... Most of the time, Brin Liddell and Rhiannan Brown are on the same page. The two 17 years olds, competing in the Sail Sydney Nacra 15 class, have an easy familiarity with each other that comes from crewing together for two seasons and being friends since they were eight. And sometimes they even finish each others sentences. For both, passionate parents were their entre into the sport: Rhinnans mum first showed her the ropes when she was just five, Brins dad campaigned in Tornadoes at the Barcelona Olympics, while his mum crewed on the tall ship Young Endeavour on its world voyage when she was aged 18. The pair hope to sail all the way to the Youth World Championships in Brazil next December, and the youth spot will be decided early next year. Brin steers, while Rhiannan crews. Asked how that was determined, Rhiannan replies succinctly, He was already in it. And lest anyone think being ordered around by a bloke is not keeping with the spirit of the times, she explains: We more work together as a team, both put in input and we work it out together. We never really fight. Brin adds: Mostly we are good. We stay as calm as we can on the water so we dont have big arguments. The pair seem slightly uncomfortable when asked about their ambitions. This regatta wed like a podium at least, and to try and get gold, Brin says, as both give out a small chuckle. Another chuckle accompanies the explanation of how they fund their sport, which turns out to be thanks to the bank of mum and dad. Training is mainly on Lake Macquarie, south of Newcastle, in NSW. Brin lives in nearby Belmont, while Rhiannan comes over from Gosford on the Central Coast to train over the weekend. They love sailing the Nacra 15 catamaran as it goes fast, its an adrenaline rush, especially when its windy, Brin says, while for Rhiannan, it helps clear your head, you get all your stress out from school, out on the water. The ultimate aim is the 2024 Paris Olympics, and the crew are familiar with the Marseilles course, and the adversity that can occur on it, after a mishap at the Nacra 15 Worlds in October, where the pair placed 14th. The pair were leading a race until a snapped centreboard crippled their boat and they fell back to seventh. It made it difficult, Rhianna started to say, to come back from those breakages, Brin concluded. To compete in the Olympics will require an upgrade to the Nacra 17s, but before 2024 comes another Olympic year, 2020, which is more pointedly the final year of high school for both young athletes. Sailing in Spain and The Netherlands next year while studying for the Higher School Certificate might be a clash of priorities, but not for Brin. We have started (the HSC), he confides, but sailing comes first.

03.01.2022 GOOD MORNING - DAY 4 #SailSydney - ! Twins and teammates Lilly and Matilda Richardson, from Victorias Mornington Peninsula are twins are trying new things and mixing it up.... We just got into the 29er, says Lilly, the eldest (by about ten minutes). The have been sailing the boat for two months and recognise it is a difficult class to get skilled at. Particularly as next year is the final year of high school. Lilly wants to study medicine, Matilda psychology. We all get the deal with twins, right? The look the same, have similar personalities, hobbies and passions. Right? Wrong. We started (sailing) at the same time but I hated it, Lily explains. So she boycotted it. Dad kept shoving me back in my Opti until I wasnt so scared. I think I got a little bit jealous of Tilda sailing and I wasnt there. Their father no longer sails. He just likes to come out and watch us. Which leads to the obvious question. Who is in charge? Sailing involves a leader and a follower but with the Richardson twins seniority doesnt always win out. I crewed the 420 and now I steer the 29er, Lilly explains. Veterans of two youth worlds, they are thinking ahead to 49ers. It definitely been planned out, Lilly says. But the duo are not afraid to mix it up. Originally, Matilda crewed the 420. I just got a bit sick of Lilly being in control all the time. So it was decided that I would take over. Matilda says they are probably more competitive against each other. We have had to learn to use our competitiveness and put it together to have a greater outcome. And it is here, when things go wrong out on the water, that the twins admit that there are differences between them. Thats were we have really learnt where we are different, Matilda says. We handle pressured situations differently. We have had to recognise each others differences and how we like to approach situations. Lilly agrees. When things go wrong as they often do when you are racing we do turn into opposites. We take different approaches most of the time in how we deal with things but we have learnt to use that in a constructive way. We can use our opposites to form one pretty good whole.

03.01.2022 - "Pint sized windsurfer has never sailed!" By Stephen Brook Friendly and welcoming, just like her community, RSX windsurfer Courtney Schoutrop, 20, knows she is in a minority at Sail Sydney.... But that doesnt bother her at all. They are all pretty friendly, the sailors that I interact with, but we all tend to stick to our discipline, says the Queenslander, who trains at the Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron in Brisbane. At my club we are down the other end, really segregated from the boats, but when we see them we say hi. She has not been tempted to try sailing except once. I got in a Laser once and capsized. Thats my boat experience. Windsurfing is hard, it can be mentally challenging, physically hard at times too. Managing the pain can be the toughest challenge as the sport can be intensely physical, particularly in light winds, when the board needs to be pumped to increase speed. Courtney holds up her hand to prove the point. She has a rip an ugly raw red patch - on her palm of her hand to prove it, a legacy of the recent Sail Brisbane regatta. It can be quite physically brutal out there. Family camping trips provided her first taste of windsurfing for Courtney and her two sisters, when her dad would send Courtney, aged five, out on a board with a sail and drag her back in to shore. She stepped in up a gear about four years ago when she realised she had fallen in love with it. RSX numbers are low in Australia, Courtney is competing as one of three at the Sydney event, but that will change come February, when RSX Worlds are held as part of Sail Melbourne and more than 20 international visitors are expected to make their way down south. At 1.60m (5ft 2in) she could be taller and heavier, in an ideal world, as it is harder to keep the board down in heavier winds. But being lighter in light winds is a different advantage. In her other life, Courtney is studying occupational therapy at university, but has taken only half her coursework for next year, as Sail Melbourne is also the Oceanic qualifiers for the Tokyo Olympics. Sailing is not ruled out forever, Id like to do a come-and-try day, and her message for sailor interested in windsurfing simple and direct. Jump on and give it a go.
