Training week in Berumda



The team getting ready to start, or perhaps finished sailing.
Eight Queen's Sailing Team members flew to Bermuda over our reading week to keep our skills up in the off-season. The weather was beautiful although we were there for the coldest day they'd had so far. Every day was over 15Âșc, with 20-30kts. Although a little windy for practicing match racing (enough to break an old J24 boom) it was great all-around training, and good to start setting up a team dynamic. RHADC was extremely accommodating, letting us use their boats for the trip and get out sailing 4 straight days. A big thanks to RHADC, the coaches that came out to help, and our amazing hosts/hostesses who kept us well fed and out of the rain! Most importantly we managed to fill all our time with sailing or exploring the island making it an excellent 'reading week'. We're looking forward to heading back there for a week before the event in France and hopefully train in International One Designs. Now that we're back the search for funding begins!
