Optimist Yachting

We were learning to sail Optimist Yachts at Pandora Pond. We set up the yachts for sailing. On the first day we learnt to sail the yachts and get confident on the water. There were two or three people in a yacht. One held the tiller while the other person held the mainsheet. We had to work as a team.

We did a relay activity so that we could learn to sail by ourselves. The next day we played a game called Cat and Mouse to practice tacking.

When not sailing we went crabbing, swimming and also went for a walk.

It was really fun and exciting.
