We had 7 boats on the water this week, plus we were joined by Peter McQuoid who has been sailing a DF65 at a Queensland club, but has now moved to Albany, so will be a new member to the fleet, Welcome Peter.
The breeze started as a light shifter from the S that saw many places lost by going on the wrong tack. It gradually strengthened to be a perfect A+ wind by the end of sailing.
Everybody was quite well behaved and there were very few incidents and penalties were quickly done.
There was some very close racing between Peter B # 43, John K #29 and Grant T #38 with the top 3 places going to them in that order, Peter T #34 was not far behind in 4th, followed by Brian R #94, Jim S #78 and Geoff C #24 in 5th to 7th.
