Race report 1 October 2022

As reported by our PRO, Robert Vann:
Scattered showers in the morning cleared nicely for our afternoon racing, with a strong turnout for sprints over the long weekend. Sailors enjoyed an 8-12 knot south-easterly breeze in an ebbing tide which led to some tricky racing between Clark Island and Point Piper. The sprint courses were the standard 2X windward/leeward, running for 10-15 minutes apiece.
It was great to see some tight racing at the top of both fleets resulting in a mix of race winners. Standouts in the radial fleet included Scott Hunter, Quentin Burns, Alistair Southerland, Martin White and Katie McHugh. The standard fleet was led by Jules Hall, Luke Parker and Geoff Kirk with Stuart Holdsworth traveling down from Pittwater to join in.
Thanks to Andrew Simpson COTD, Ryan Aldrich (co-COTD) and Campbell Patton (LTRAR) for their assistance in race management.
Many thanks also to Paul and Shirley for keeping the toasties in plentiful supply with the assistance of Julian van Aalst and David Airey.
