Another reshare from NauticEd - International Sailing & Powerboating Education ⛵️ Before taking off in your vessel - it's so important to check the weather. But weather apps don't always get it right! 🌧️ Learning what different clouds mean, might save you from ending up in a dangerous situation.

And just like that, the 142nd Season is underway at RQYS!

Opening Day kicked off the season with the annual race around Green Island, a solid southerly delivering plenty of breeze, big conditions and some fantastic rides for competitors across all classes.

A great way to get the new sailing season underway - and a great sign of what’s to come!

👏 Well done to all sailors, race officials, volunteers and everyone who helped make the Opening Day race a success.

Here’s to an amazing 142nd Season! ⛵️
