Call Of The Deep BY GWYNN OWEN Sailing is safer than any other outdoor sport, So said Humphrey Golby at the second session of the adult education Practical Sailing course in North Saanich. The previous week’s sailing schedule had been slightly dis- rupted by the weather, so rather . than postpone. 2. second time, 2 classroom session was held in the District #63 School board of- fice in Sidney, By means of a model the func- tions of all parts of a sailing boat were demonstrated, sails, hull and keel, and their inter- action om each other. Unlike their power driven counterpart, a sailing vessel derives only 2 small amount of useful power from the wind. It is skill in balancing all the factors of wea- ther against the handling of sails and tiller that makes a good skipper. This can only be done with practice, Under severe storm conditions a modern sail- ing yacht will handle itseif far better if left alone and like a horse that returns to its own stable when given its head, will automatically assume its best position to the weather. : Following lively discussion on these topics a series of coloured slides were shown, many by the famous Victoria yacht photo- grapher James A, McVie. Those enrolled range in age from sixteen to sixty and are Jack Christian, Mr. and Mrs, H. W. Davies, M. A. Lightbody, Miss Michelle MacMartin, Da- vid and Sandy Marshall, Miss Doria Mills, Gwynn Owen, Mrs. Bea Richmond, K. R. H.
