RACE REPORT 30 SEPTEMBER 2023

October Long Weekend Sprints

Steven London reports:

Saturday was a spectacular bright and sunny day, the wind was 10 knots, gusting 15 from NNE, perfect conditions for about 30 sailors who competed in our October Long Weekend Sprints. (and a few 18 footers were also seen in practice for their coming season.)

Three races were started at 2pm sharp, a long course for Sprints, with the start set in Double Bay and the top mark was midway between the Bradley’s Head clearwater mark and Shark Island.

In the first race, Campbell Patton aced the Standards, and Evie Saunders was first in the radials, and Diana Chen lead the 4.7s.

Race two had the same leaders, Campbell Patton, Evie Saunders, Diana Chen dominating their respective fleets.

By race three the wind was gusting to 18 knots at times, and there was chop and waves to deal with, Daniel Costandi was first in the standards, Connor Kellett first in the radials, and Jacqui Winship in the 4.7s

Thankyou Race Team: Steven London PRO, John Vassey LTRaR, Andrew Foote COTD, Jeremy Vives CoCOTD, and also to Paul and Shirley for running the Canteen assisted by Max Djura and Grant Lovelady.
