SATURDAY saw a fine day with a great turnout of boats for rounds thirteen and fourteen of the Ballarat Yacht Club’s junior spring pennant.

Sailors were faced with tricky moderate winds shifting from a high of 15kph to a low of 5kph and back upwards coming from a westerly direction. Last week’s strong winds went the other way, so the change was good for the juniors who are learning to cope with varying conditions.

In another first for the club, three pairs from three families were out sailing, with Cooper and Lachlan Bellete, Owen and Maia Murphy and Tristan and Jensen Coelho all on the water.
