On the weekend of the 26-28 June the Bundaberg Sail Training Camp was again held at the Bundaberg Sailing Club. The camp which has now been going for 13 or 14 years is now included in the newly developed “Queensland Identification & Development Pathway” program which delivers development camps to junior and youth sailors across the whole state.
The camp this year again, proved how important these type of camps are with 15 junior and youth sailors travelling from as far away as Mackay to attend the training camp for some much sought after coaching from Ben Callard and Martin Watson.
The camp was blessed by good weather allowing the groups to spend maximum time on the water, some days leaving the bank at 8:30am and staying out till sun set with breaks in between for lunch and theory sessions. The camp was a “live in” set up allowing all the sailors to get to know each other make friends that will last a life time.
A big thank you must go out to Paul Effeney who has really been the drive behind the Bundy camp for all of its existence organising and managing the camp and his wife Christine who plays a crucial role of “Master Chief” feeding the mouths of the hungry sailors and coaches.
