Race Report 9 May 2021
Guest User
A combined fleet of over 25 sailors managed to squeeze in racing around Mother’s Day commitments. Warm overnight temperatures owing to cloud cover meant the morning westerly was not particularly strong, but did hang around for longer than previous weeks. This provided mostly stable breeze for the second weekend of the winter series with three races completed (although the last race shortened).
In the standard rig championship, Luke Parker won the first race while Rod Barnes secured the other two races, while in the point score, races were won by John Vasey and Tim Heath (equal race 4), Geoff Boscoe (race 5) and Rod Barnes (race 6). In the radial rig championship, Sylvie Stannage was the winner of the first two races with Ethan Lozevski securing the third race and in the point score Quentin Burns, Diana Chen and Peter Collie each won a race.
Many thanks to all of those who assisted on the day, and in particular PRO Nick Alexander, assisted by Justin Davey on the Jazzman and COTD Andrew Simpson and co-COTD Ross Ramsay on the water. After racing, sailors enjoyed mixed vegetable soup cooked by Paul, before heading off to enjoy the rest of the day.
