Sprint Racing
Those who weren’t playing an away game down at George’s River for the NSW State Championships on the weekend, were treated to a relatively empty harbour and some champagne sailing.
The race team comprised of Nick Pellow (PRO), Conor Roche (COTD), Tory Epworth (CoCOTD), David Devlin, Samuel Devlin and David Da Costa Enes. Blessed by a relatively stable 10-18knot North Easterly gradient breeze, 4 races each of about 20-25 minutes were well sailed by a strong fleet of about 25 boats.
In the ILCA6s - Scott Hunter and Alistair Sutherland fought it out for the gun, whilst in the ICLA7s the racing was tight however a highlight was watching Commodore London score a gun on the final race.
After rounding the top mark sailors were rewarded with a short but hot reach to an offset buoy, backdropped by the best view in the world.
