The next race is a Pointscore Event on Saturday 24 May with Mike Wootten nominated for duty. See you all then and there! NOTE: The last race is a Catch-Up race which has been assigned to the Pointscore series, which has low in numbers
Four lovely Sprints Series races were run in cool sunny conditions with a light 7-11 knot Southerly winds which were strangely gusty and puffy with lots of holes and delightful waves to catch.
The best wave-catcher on the day was Mike Wootten sailing his Laser. Mick Fairbairn and Michelle stepped in to allow Damien Bates (Finn) to clean up the Sprints Series trophy (Draft outcome of course => very
well done Damien). Looks like a blanket FINN ish for all the series this year!! Yah Gotta be in it to win it!! The starters did a great job handling the 10 mixed fleet competitors with
good courses and ideal leg lengths, despite their learner plates!!. There were three guests => Bill Jauncey (Spiral) and a Spiral and Open Bic from the Junior Sailing School. The Open Bic did outstandingly
well with a 3rd place in the first race after yardsticks were applied. Very Well Done!! The overall results, including the guests, are shown in the table below.
Merve Lotze (Spiral) was the overall winner, with Damien Bates (Finn), second; Mike Wootten (Laser) + David Ginty (Aero 7) equal third; and Bill Jauncey (Spiral) fifth.
See the Results page for the detailed results.
The overall draft season positions for the Sprints, with best 75% to count so far, sees Damien Bates (Finn) first; Merve Lotze (Spiral)
second, David Ginty (Aero) third and Mike Wootten (Laser) fourth.
