From our PRO for the day, James Tudball:
It was one for the keen beans on Saturday. At 1pm it was looking like we were in for a dreary day with light winds. Richard George and Jim Dounis threw the big rig up to join the majority, so we had an all standard fleet of ten boats.
Incidentally, the fleet began with only eight boats. Geoff Kirk and Luke Parker were seen whizzing around nearby on their electric hydrofoils, but after Sydney Maritime questioned their foiling abilities and suggested they pack it in, the pair were only too happy to exchange their new gizmo for the ever faithful Laser.
The 10 x standards showcased mm perfect starting and highly competitive racing in what ended up being a great 8 - 13 knot nor'easter. Seven races were notched up and every sailor had their turn at the pointy end.
Many thanks to our volunteers on the day – James Tudball (PRO), Scott Hunter (LTRAR), Jason Wilkins (COTD) and Diana Chen (Co-COTD). Paul and Shirley were assisted in the canteen by special guest June Jordan.
