Ideal conditions for Club Championship 

A magnificent Spring day and near ideal sailing conditions were the perfect backdrop for the first heats of the Club Championship Series. The forecast moderate NE breeze arrived on cue and with the flat water that came with an incoming tide the sailing was as good as it gets for this early in the season. The trade off with wind with tide, however,  is the long upwinds, mitigated to some extent by the sensible decisions of timekeepers Jenni and Alan to reduce the number of laps and keep the average race time down to a comfotable 40 minutes. The longer works also favoured the higher pointing Lasers and Finn and that was reflected in the results, Gabrielle winning both races with Mark and Wayne not far in arrears. Only the two Wetas this week with Bryan able to claim a win in both races. Results have now been updated.

Earlier in the day the club helds its AGM with the committee largely voted in unchanged from the previous year. The exception was the position of Club Treasurer with Denise vacating that role after many years of loyal service. Her contributions were soundly acknowledged. Brendan steps in as the incoming trasurer and the club welcomes his inclusion. 

Next Saturday (Sep12) the club will host additional heats of the Personal Handicap Series. Racing starts at 1:30pm following a briefing at 1:00pm. Visiting sailors from clubs affiliated with Australian Sailing are welcome to participate in club racing.
