From our race management team James Tudball and Christine Patton:

Following all the activity of the working bee and the prediction that the breeze was going to drop there was mixed interest in racing but most doubts were cast aside and we ended up with 27 boats on the starting line throughout the sprint afternoon with standard, radial and 4.7 rigs all represented.
James Tudball (PRO) assisted by Christine Patton ran 7 sprint races in a breeze that did drop during the afternoon from 12 knots to as low as 5 knots. The breeze direction shifted to the North as well so those sailors not paying attention taking the right gate got caught a couple of times when the sailors that had chosen the left gate got to aim straight for the mark in a soldiers course. This produced some mixed winners and losers. The Race Committee COTD Ian Tudball and co-COTD Omer Konakci had a busy afternoon shifting the windward mark to the right chasing the breeze. As usual it was great to be on Sydney Harbour and everyone who did get out were pleased they made the effort.
