Sailing
SCEGGS had 8 sailors who competed at the NSW Team Racing Summer Regatta that was held at Woollahra Sailing Club over the weekend.
Well done to Alexa Argy (Year 11), Lucy Balderstone(Year 9), Sophia Bolot (Year 9), Michaela Docherty (Year 10), Isobel Payne (Year 12), Natalie Perkins (Year 9), Astrid Straesser (Year 11) and Abigail Tattersall (Year 10).
Teams racing is very tactical with 3 boats (2 sailors in each) all navigating a tight course against their opponent.
The SCEGGS team defeated teams from Monte and Knox to place equal 3rd in Division 2 and showed great improvement over the two days.
If anyone is keen to learn how to sail, we still have vacancies in our Term 2 Monday afternoon program that is held at Woollahra Sailing Club.
