On Saturday the club was able to host sprint racing. Around 20 sailors were greeted with a strong gusty, westerly winds in the 25knt range that swung to the south as the afternoon progressed requiring a change of course after the first race.
Given the Sprint racing format, no formal results were recorded however there were many high speed “rides” with smiles to match. Sylvie Stannage revelled in the conditions and enjoyed “waves that she hadn’t seen for some time”.
To view footage and commentary of the racing from PRO Ian Alexander, check out the Double Bay Top Mark Facebook page.
Many thanks to the on water team who made racing happen at short notice - Race Officer Ian Alexander (provider of race footage and commentary), Captain of the Day John Conroy, and Covid Safety Officer Christine Patton assisted on water by Andrew Craker and John Vasey.
This coming weekend will be another day of sprint racing before formally kicking off scored racing for the season.
