Club Championship Recap
Kirk Marcolina
A season (and close to all-time) record 57-boats raced last Saturday in Club Championship heats 7 and 8. There was a building NE breeze that started around 12-knots and peaked at 22-knots. The day was full of surprises with increasing winds, drifting marks, very delayed starts and fast reaches (with Nick Pellow reaching over 12 knots!)
The winners were as follows: in the Standards, David Newman (1st in both heats), in the Radials, Campbell Patton and Zac West, and in the 4.7s, Finn Kirk and Sara Brooks. Thanks to our PRO, Jonathan Stone, who was assisted by Clare Alexander, David Devlin, Wade McDonough, Dene Bergman and Luke Parker.
A challenging day of racing was capped by a scrumptious barbie on the club deck. Thanks to Paul, Andrea and Shirley for a great spread. And of course, well done to Peter Collie, Pat Levy and the other BBQ masters.
