CLUB NEWS
The Last race was a Sprints event sailed on 25 March 2023 with a fleet of 10 club members yachts and one guest, a record number for the season. Wonderful to see Beau & Lachlan return to sailing with their 505 and such a great turnout on the day for close racing. Thanks to Geoff Carne for his great work on the Start Boat with 3 half hour races completed in 5-13 knot E to NE winds before the wind died. Damien Bates was fast all day winning two races on scratch. Beau (505) won one race and Andy (non-member, Laser) had a second and two thirds on scratch. After yardsticks were applied Merv Lotze (Spiral) won two races and Damien Bates (Finn) achieved one win and two seconds. Mike Robbins (Spiral) was third in two races and Greg Thornton (Laser Radial) one third place. Well done Mike Robbins - a great result. It was great racing with a large fleet all jockeying closely for positions throughout the day.
Merv Lotze (Spiral) is leading overall in the Sprints Series, with Damien Bates (Finn) second, Richard Pryor (Laser Radial), in third place and Bain Painter (Laser) fourth. The Overall leader in the Championship is Merv Lotze (Spiral), with Damien Bates (Finn) in second place, Jacob Bates (Spiral) in overall third place and Richard Pryor (Laser Radial) in fourth place. Damien Bates (Finn) is first in the Pointscore, with Richard Pryor (Laser Radial) second, David Ginty (Aero 7) in third place and Merv Lotze (Sprial) in fourth place.
The next Race is a Poitscore Race on 1 April, with Greg Thornton and Geoff Carne on Duty. See you all, there are then!
