PORT MACQUARIE SAILING CLUB

2-2-2020

The 4th round of the Port Macquarie Sailing Club’s sprint series was held on Sunday with a light north easterly breeze that built through the day. We had a good turn out and sailors were very happy to have a good breeze in the very hot conditions. The morning races had the slack tide which ran-in strongly through the afternoon. Two 1 lap races were held before lunch followed by two further 1 lap and a 2 lap afternoon race.
