The National Sailing Centre, Suva, Fiji successful hosted an ISAF Level 1 Technical Course for Participation oriented Coaches on behalf of the Fiji Yachting Association from 13 - 19 May.

It was one of those days when you dream of a good log fire and a captivating book but despite the rain and cold, the sailors put on all the warmest gear to start the first races of the 2013 Delta Lloyd regatta.

The last day of the Delta Lloyd North Sea Regatta 2013 showed a repeat of last year, when a persistent sea fog made an early end to the competition. This time it was a lack of wind that happened to be the game breaker.
