Patience rewarded!

Last Saturday had all the ingredients of a magnificent Spring day, although the lack of any early breeze wasn't a great sign for the afternoon's racing. Nonplussed, the wooden boat enthusiasts cruised around irrespective, and it seemed that might be the only action for the day. Patience was rewarded, however, when a gentle sea breeze arrive late and stayed consistent for the duration of the two races. Like last week, the tide played a major hand in proceedings, the first race averaging an hour long as boats struggled to make headway upwind. Congratulations to Steuart who negotiated a careful path up the northern bank, escaping the worst of the tide, and going on to win his first race for the season. Gabrielle and Mark were always going to be difficult to beat, the pair scoring a one, two in the second race. Nathan was the best of the three Wetas with a win in each race. Results have now been updated.

 Next Saturday (Sep 26) 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.
