The marginal breeze attracted a mix of A and B rigs among the fleet of 9.

The fleet initially raced 4 scratch races and then 5 handicap races.

ANOTHER TIE FOR 1ST

Close racing over the morning between Andrew Grist and Greg Westerberg  resulted in another tie that could not be separated by countbacks.

Racing was delayed in getting started with large swings in the wind from the East to the South, finally settling in the SE at 5 - 12 Kts, still swinging but much less so giving plenty of opportunies to windward'

Ten boats were on-course with tricky conditions to kick off with due to a highly variable wind direction and ranged in strength  from 0-4 knts. Eventually the wind settled to a 5-10knt southerly and the course changes kept the racing with good windward/return legs.

SMALL FLEET COMPETES IN 15KT EASTERLY

Congratulations to Murray Howson for his win on the day  with Brian Richardson a close 2nd. Murray owes his win to the finishing run of Harold who stood in to skipper when Murray had to leave to drive to Perth

95'S SHOWING UP IN LARGER NUMBERS

9 boats sailed in very mild breeze.  A big difference to the previous week of strong winds.

SPLIT HANDICAP and SCRATCH RACING A SUCCESS

A fleet of 12 took to the lake/pond/drain/water and sailed a split series of handicap and scratch races. Initially with 4 handicap followed by 4 scratch, the additional races were designated scratch. This format proved to be popular. A big thanks to Peter T who took up the role of PRO after the first 2 races.

TOO WINDY FOR MOST MEMBERS.

The couple who rocked up left everthing loaded in their vehicle, we'll have another go next week

The strengthening winds with rain blew the A rigs off the course and a few breakages with B rigs left the fleet of 3 by the end of the day.

LARGE FLEET TURNOUT FOR CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES RACING.

The breeze for the morning took sometime to settle from swinging from the ENE to the SSE. Racing got started when it partially settled to in the East, however was still moving some 10-15 degrees during the race. Course changes were frequent, moving between the East and SE.

We had a fleet of 11 boats rock up for the days sailing.

COLIN WINS

Colin Westerberg wins on the day, Colin sailed really consistently, finishing the day with six 1st and five 2nd placings. Greg had his moments but wasn't sailing with the same consistency. 

The breeze started in the NE at 10 - 15 kts, finishing in the East at 15 - 20 kts.  The breeze was swinging considerably when it had some north in it and more settled as it moved to the East.

The return to sailing after the Christmas New Year break welcomed us with a gusty South Westerly ranging fron 10 to 20 knots. We were also greeted with a couple of light showers, with only a few bringing wet weather gear. 

Congratulations to Brian Richardson for his win on the day, Brian started slowly but finished with a high number of front end finishes for the rest of the day.

Geoff Cass blitz's a win.

A very good turn out with some very close racing with mostly B Rig conditions.

Congratulations to Greg Westerberg for his win on the day.

We were entertained with a SSW breeze ranging from 8-15 kts with plenty of shifts to work with.

Peter T continued his good form and jumped from last weeks second placing to top spot.
