Race Report 23 May 2021

Once again we had a chilly night and morning which meant the winter land breeze was at play on the harbour. Unfortunately the Royal Australian Navy had other plans for the harbour and after the first race, we had a delay and a shift of course before the second two races.
Race winners in the standard rig championship were Rod Barnes, David Newman and Nick Pellow, while in the pointscore, Ash Deacon, Andrew Foote and Nick Pellow each had a win. In the radial championship, David Huber, Candice Cushway and Andrew Cox each won a race, and in the pointscore Kirk Marcolina, Candice Cushway and Andrew Cox were race winners.
Congratulations also go to Candice Cushway, who achieved her goal of winning a race, and Ian Tudball who achieved his goal of beating Commodore Cox. What will they aim for next?
Many thanks to PRO Gerry Donohoe assisted by Kate McHugh, David Airey and Jim Dounis. After racing sailors were able to enjoy mixed vegetable soup cooked by Paul and lovingly heated by Peter Collie.
