CLUB NEWS
The Last race was a Pointscore event sailed on 21 January 2023 with a fleet of 9 club members yachts and one guest. There was a lovely light SE breeze at the start of around 8 knots. Mark and Di Graham set a great course. About 2/3 through the race 'holes' developed as the NE wind tried to take charge. Merv Lotze was the worst affected. It filled in and allowed a shortened race to be completed by 1400 hours. Having an early start at 1200 worked out very well as the start boat could be retrieved by 1430 hours using a rope to pull it over the 'beach' that developed out from the 'scour pool' at the end of the ramp. Jacob Bates (Spiral) held the lead for the first two legs, before being overtaken on the third leg by Dave Bannell (Laser). It was good to see Mike Robbins return to sailing with 'Bad Habits' (Spiral) finishing a creditable fifth place. The race was won by Dave Bannell (Laser) with Richard Pryor (Laser Radial) in second place and Jacob Bates (Spiral) in third place. Unlike many races the faster yachts could not catch the early starting 'rabbits' in the conditions. David Ginty (Aero 7) was fourth and Geoff Carne (Finn) was sixth, ahead of Damien Bates (Finn).
Merv Lotze (Spiral) is leading overall in the Sprints Series, with Gavid Ginty( Aero 7) second, Richard Pryor (FLaser), in third place and Damien Bates (Finn) fourth. The Overall leader in the Championship is Merv Lotze (Spiral) with Damien Bates (Finn) in second place and John Anderson (Hunter 216) in third place, with Jacob Bates (Spiral) close behind in fourth place. Damien Bates (Finn) is first in the Pointscore, with Richard Pryor (Laser Radial) second and David Ginty (Aero 7) in third place.
A reminder to all competitors to please ensure you leave the beach so you are out there, ready to start, promptly at 1330 hours, which is the designated time.
The next Race is a Championships event on 4 February, with Richard Pryor on Duty. NOTE: There is no race over the Super Long-Weekend for Australia Day
