 Club racing 31 Oct 

In conditions similar to the SHR held last week, the northerly influence was again present early before turning and building into a solid nor easter. Enjoying the long works courtesy of the strong flood tide, Mark was able to establish an early lead in both races and was the eventual winner in the first race and 3rd in the second. Jay and Willow overcame a poor start in Race 1 to come back strongly in the second albeit they had to concede to Neil who was enjoying the conditions which were well suited to his windsurfer. The Sabres were the best represented class on the day, boosted by the return of Hamish and visiting Taree sailor Troy Lewis, the latter backing up his winning performance in the SHR with a dominant display in both races. Results have now been updated.

Next week the club will host the next round of the Club Championship Series and members are reminded to bring a small plate for afternoon tea.
