The last race event was the final set of Sprints races for the season, with Richard Pryor and John Anderson on duty. Conditions were ideal with a shifty, fluky WNW wind of 5-10 knots gusting to 15 knots at times, and with shifts to the West and back again. The delightful short course allowed 5 races of 15 minutes duration to be run. There were 8 competitors, with 4 club members and 4 guests: => Bill Jauncey (Spiral), Peter Eslick (Spiral), Michael Fairbairn (Finn) and Andy Wharton (Laser). There were some 'ding-dong' tussles between the 2 Lasers and the Finn, and between the 4 Spirals. After applying yardsticks, Peter Eslick (Spiral) won the first three races, and Andy Wharton (Laser) the final two. Michael Fairbairn (Finn) got three second places, and Merve Lotze (Spiral) two second places. For the club members, Merv Lotze (Spiral) won 4 Races, and Bain Painter one race. The second and third club member places were won by Bain Painter (Laser) and Mike Robbins (Spiral)
The Overall Preliminary/Draft Place-getters in the Sprints Series for the season with 17 of 23 races to count is
Merv Lotze (Spiral) FIRST with Richard Pryor (Laser Radial) in SECOND place, and Bain Painter (Laser) in THIRD place,
and with Greg Thornton (Laser Radial) in 4th and Damien Bates (Finn) in 5th place.
The Overall Preliminary/Draft Place-getters in the Season Championship Series Results for 8 of 11 races
to count (75% rounded down; 3 drops) is
FIRST: TIED on 532 points => Merv Lotze and Damien Bates (Finn), THIRD: David Ginty (RS Aero), FOURTH: Jacob Bates (Spiral),
FIFTH: Richard Pryor (Laser Radial).
The Overall Preliminary/Draft Place-getters in the Season Pointscore Series is Damien Bates (Finn) FIRST [581 points], with David Ginty (Aero 7) second [577 points] SECOND, Merv Lotze Spiral) THIRD [519 points] and Richard Pryor (Laser Radial) fourth [511 points].
The next Race is the First of the Frostbite Sprints Races for the season with Richard Pryor nominated for duty. It will probably be a Sprints event which is a lot of fun and gives everyone a lot of starts and short races.
