From our PRO Steven London
Thirty sailors joined us last Saturday for the Autumn Poinscore Races 3 & 4. The course was ESE and set in our "Dardanelles", the passage between Point Piper and Shark Island. The 12 knot shifty conditions challenged sailors to commit to the left or the right, with gains for getting it right or losses for the unlucky ones.
The races were once again scored in real time using the new Sailor app, and all sailors are required to sign-on to be scored.
Ben Constandi was the only 4.7 rig and sailed well amongst the radial fleet.
In the Radials Chris Tattersall won both races, Scott Finlayson second in both, and Kate McHugh was third in both!
The standard rig Race 3 was won by Max Djura, Robert Vann second and Mark Gray third, and in Race 4 Robert Van won, with Mark Gray second and Jules Hall third. New member Paige Caldecoat joined us on the water for the first time, and sailed very well in both races.
Thank you to the on water race team: Steven London as PRO, Scott Hunter as LTRaR, Ian Tudball as COTD and Pia Hattersley as Co COTD. Thanks also to our handicapper Daryl Lawrence who continues to work on fine tuning the scoring with the Sailor App., and to Paul Adam and Shirley Roach assisted by Chris Tattersall and Tim Heath for providing Tasty Toasties and Beverages!
