The Championship and Sprints races on Saturday 14 May were sailed a steady, NE to NNE wind winds averaging 6-8 knots with gusts to 13 knots. Though there we shifts the overall direction remained steady throughout the day for the Championship and one Sprint sailed on the day. The volunteer race officers, John Anderson and Warren Cash set a 900 m leg-length course, which provided a race length of 45 to 60 minutes for the Championship and 45 minutes for the Sprint. The seven competitors including Guest Andy Wharton enjoyed wonderful close racing throughout with Andy (Laser Full), Damien Bates (Finn) and David Ginty (RS Aero 7) having a great tussle for line honours in the races. After yardsticks were applied, the winning club member was David Ginty (RS Aero 7), followed by Greg Thornton (Laser Radial), Merve Lotze (Spiral), Damien Bates (Finn), Richard Pryor (Laser Radial and Jacob Bates (Spiral). The Sprint Race was won by Merve Lotze Spiral) with Damien Bates (Finn) in second place (First across the line), followed by David Ginty (RS Aero 7), with Greg Thornton (Laser Radial) in fourth place.

Merv Lotze (Spiral) leads the Overall Club Championship (75% of races) with Damien Bates (Finn) in second place, and Mike Wootten (Spiral), in Third place. Merv Lotze (Spiral) leads in the Overall Sprints (75% of races) with Mike Wootten (Spiral) in Second place and Richard Pryor (Laser Radial) in third place.

The Overall Pointscore (75% of races) results shows Merv Lotze (Spiral) in first place, followed by Mike Wootten (Spiral) in second place, and Dave Ginty (RS Aero 5&7) in third place.

The battle for end of season glory and places on the club's honour board is really heating up with one Championship, Sprints and Pointscore event to go before the end of the season (28 May). For the Preliminary results so far, Merv Lotze leads all three, but he can only get one of the titles, with second place being declared the winner. The 75% of races to count rule, allows competitors to drop several of their worst results including DNS.

In the Championship Damien Bates (Finn) is in second place on 495, closely followed my Mike Wootten (Spiral) on 487, Dave Ginty (RS Aero) on 476, and Richard Pryor (Laser Radial) on 475. In the Sprints, Mike Wootten (Spiral) is in 2nd place on 1210 points, followed by Richard Pryor (Laser Radial) on 1141 and Dave Ginty (RS Aero) on 1053 points. In the Pointscore, Mike Wootten (Spiral) is in second place on 374 points, followed by David Ginty (RS Aero) on 359, and Richard Pryor (Laser Radial) on 354 points. So the scene is set for some close match racing in the final events!!!!

The next race is a Pointscore event on 21 May with David Ginty on Duty.

GREAT NEWS => The club has been successful with its Veolia Mulwaree Trust Grant application to replace our 20 year year old outboard motor. Well done Steve for preparing the application! Several members will be traveling to Goulburn in early May to provide a Veolia Mulwaree Trust Grant Presentation and to receive the grant on behalf of the club. Special thanks to the Veolia Mulwaree Trust who provide such wonderful support for sporting and other clubs and organisations in the region. Well Done and Thanks! The Veolia Mulwaree Trust was established to manage and distribute funds for charitable purposes and worthwhile community projects to benefit communities within, or surrounding, the former Mulwaree Shire Council area in Southern NSW, which includes the Shoalhaven City Council. The Trust’s funding is provided by Veolia Australia and New Zealand which operates the Woodlawn Eco-Precinct near Tarago in Southern NSW.
