Queensland 9er Class Association

Hi all 9er parents, supporters and sailors. After a slow..ish start to RQ Youth Week we managed to get 3 races in 6-12 knots on a glorious winters day. Well done to RQ race management and all the sailors.

On another note, the 9er Committee would like to thank the parent/supporter participation at the Qld 9er AGM. Your support, feedback and ideas were very much appreciated.

We are also happy to announce a refreshed 9er Committee based on the AGM. It was wonderful to see new faces looking to lend a hand. We have a couple of roles left to fill.

Treasurer : Steve Amos
Secretary : Rob Sloman

9er Committee.

Qld 9er sailors, parents and supporters. The Qld Committee will be seeking nominations for all roles at the AGM to be held during the RQYS Youth Week Regatta in July.

The current committee members of Darren Rogers, Rob Sloman and Christine Bridge will be standing down to allow space for new members to continue to drive the Qld 9er sailing team.

Darren and Rob can stay on, but believe it is time after more than 5 years to hand over.

29er parents and supporters are particularly encouraged to put your name forward. Your committee is the backbone of the resurgence in 29er sailing in the last few years and we want to continue to grow this group and provide a stable Association for new sailors. The roles are very rewarding and do not require a huge commitment.

South of Perth Yacht Club - venue for the 2021 9er Nationals (fingers crossed). One of our Qld 9er spies out and about talking to a local to get the inside running and we managed to find a suitable coach boat for the Nationals. Keep up the hard work through winter, Nationals will be one not to miss.

Hi Qld 9ers. As we sit here in lockdown we are grateful for our 29er training sessions last week with guest Coach Will Bridge.

We are fortunate to have many ex-29er sailors who can now share their experiences. A big thank you to Will, Matt Rogers, Natalie Bridge and Joshua Sloman who all coach at RQ or for the Association from time to time.

We are also pleased to announce current QAS 470/29er sailor Ashlee Daunt will be our guest coach on the 12th and 13th of April at RQYS.

Can't wait to see you there.
