Race report 8 October 2022
Guest User
The on water crew of Craig Sheers (PRO), Justin Davey (LTRAR), Richard “Richo” Holstein (COTD) and Ben Byford (co-COTD) were met with the challenge of a fickler that forecast breeze affected by rain cells. After waiting an additional hour for the breeze to settle, heats 3&4 of the Club Championship got underway at 3pm on Saturday.
Race winners were Rob Vann and Rod Barnes in the standard rig, while in the radial fleet Martin White showed everyone why he runs the Learn to Race program, schooling the entire fleet in both races!
Many thanks also to our volunteers on the day as well as Paul and Shirley for keeping the toasties in plentiful supply with the assistance of Steve Boukatos and Scott Hunter. Shirley and Paul did a fine job preparing the post racing barbecue with duck fat roasted potatoes for the cooler weather. Thank you to David Newman who was rostered to manage the clean-up afterwards.
