2022 October Regatta
The Annual JBSC October Regional Regatta was completed with 6 races on Saturday/Sunday in very tricky conditions.
See the SailSys Results
There was a light SE system breeze that swung initially from SW to SE on Saturday and from NW to SE on Sunday. Adding to the confusion were 'under-rain-cell' winds that shifted from E, NE and W providing shifts that varied 90 degrees from the top to the bottom of the course. The rain cells were very slow moving and produced a series of wind and 'mirror' patches across the bay. This made the course setting a nightmare and demanded extreme patience from the fleet. These conditions are a rarity and generally only occur as the NE sea breeze builds against a light S or SE system breeze. Half the races were pretty ordinary, but there was a range of conditions over the weekend and with 6 races completed, competitors could drop their worst result. The cream, as always, rose to the top!!
There were about 50 entries in 4 Divisions:
Div 1 - Spirals = 10
Div 2 - Aeros (6,7,9) = 11
Div 3 - Slower Mono’s = 16 (Contenders, Tasars, Laser etc.)
Div 4 - Faster Mono's = 11 (International Canoe, 505, B14, Sharpie)
Thanks to the local race officers, course setters and support vessel crews who worked tirelessly to get the best outcome possible in the conditions.
Thanks to the folks from the Callala Junior Sailing School for providing the refreshments.
Special Thanks to John from SailSys who attended on boat days and helped the club adopt the new system =>
A brillant effort;
Also to Richard Pryor who kindly donated the wine for the prizes.
Special Thanks to all the competitors for your patience and resilence.
See you all next year, Folks!!!!
