CLUB NEWS and RESULTS
October Weekend Regatta
The October Long Weekend Regatta was completed in varying conditions. A mixed fleet of 35 + yachts competed with 12 Spiral and 9 Tasars given separate starts in Divisions 1 and 3. The other yachts were grouped into two Yardstick groups and included B14, International Canoe, Weta, Aeros and Finn classes. The three races on Saturday were sailed in NNE winds of 10-15 knots gusting to 20 knots, and provided fabulous racing with the winds holding steady. Unfortunately the forecast 8-12 knot N to NNW winds did not develop on Sunday morning. Various courses were set for NE, N and NNW winds but the winds did not hold, perhaps due to the high forecast temperatures (38 deg max). Eventually a strong and gusty NW to WNW wind developed of around 15 knots, but with 'shooters' gusting to 35 knots. The races were postponed and eventually cancelled due to the hazardous conditions and uncertainty with high temperatures forecast. Thanks to all the competitors who took part, and the race organisers and support staff share your disappointment and frustration. But THAT"S SAILING and HUEY FOLKS!! See you all next year. The results are on Sailsys. Cheers and Best Wishes.The First CLUB Race of the 2003/2004 season is on Saturday 07 October (After the October Regatta) with Geoff Carne nominated for duty. This includes the first race of the GOF Interclub event. See you all there and then!
