Race report 19 November 2022

From our PRO Daryl Lawrence:
A brisk 20kt gusting 27kt breeze saw 11 hardy souls brave the harbour. during the six or so sprints. The attrition rate left 4 boats for the final surf around the top mark, out to the white drum and home.
Luke Parker was dominating; Kirk wouldn't be chased down in a couple of races. Richard George is seriously thinking of buying his own 4.7 rig for this type of breeze as he revelled in a day without a capsize. Others weren't so fortunate with a lot of swims. Kerryn Smith had the save of the day with a maximum limbo dance to right his boat from horizontal. Tim Heath was looking good off the line. Peter Collie stuck in there with his splinted finger taking a beating.
Daryl and Maxim were well supported by Team Gray and Epworth with Milla Gray and Teddy Epworth helping their parents in the support rib with Finn Kirk. (That's one way to keep the nose of the "Paul Adam" down.)
Well survived by all.
