Laser Race Report

Last Saturday an impressive fleet of 48 boats took on another challenging light and shifty southeasterly breeze. The day served as both Heats 5 – 6 of the Autumn Pointscore and Heats 9 – 10 of the Club Championship. It was tough sailing as the competitors had to avoid the holes and be on a constant lookout for shifts.    

At the end of the day, the winners were: Championship – Standards: Matt Wenke (Championship Heat 9) and Luke Parker (Championship Heat 10); Radials: Daniel Costandi (Championship Heats 9 and 10); Pointscore (after handicap): Standards: Murray Stone (Pointscore Heat 5) and Ashley Deacon (Pointscore Heat 6); Radials / 4.7s: Daryl Lawrence (Pointscore Heat 5) and Sara Brooks (Pointscore Heat 6). 

Thanks to this week’s race volunteers — Andrew Cox (PRO) and Kevin Gilroy on the Jazzman, Pippa Batchelor (COTD), and Peter Speed (CoCOTD) on a RIB, and Julian Van Aalst and Jen Wells in the canteen. After competing on the water, the sailors were also very thankful to the team that put together the delicious meal upon their return!
