The next race is a Championship Event on Saturday 9nd November with Merv Lotze norminated for duty. See you all then and there!!!
The Pointscore race was sailed in a delightful 8-11 knot NNE to NE wind with Geoff Carne on Duty. Thanks very much Geoff for an excellent job with a course leg length of around 800 m providing a race length of 152-159 minutes. The expected increase in wind strength did not occur, which put the Lasers and Aero 6 at a disadvantage, without planing conditions on the reaches. The four Finns had a great race all day. There were 10 starters. The race was won by Michael Fairbairn (Finn), with Damien Bates (Finn) second, David Bannell (Finn) third and Mike Wootten (Laser Full) fourth. Close behind were Jacob Bates (Finn), Greg Thornton (Laser Radial) and Merv Lotze (Spiral). See the Results section for full details. The fleet came together for the last lap with just 8 minutes separating first and last place at the finish. Overall it was a great example of the merits of handicap starts with the back-markers working hard all day to catch the 'rabbits' who fought to protect their initial advantages.
Note: The Program/Calendar for 2024/ 2025 and Roster is now shown on the website. The Handicap Starts for this event are also on the website.
