Around 12:30 to 13:00 We will come in to have a break for lunch, then re-brief for the afternoon session.
 
Skills based training in the afternoon session, such as tacking/gybing and some slow speed (pre-start) manoeuvring. 
 
Then finish with some racing so everyone gets a chance to put everything back together around a course.
