Winter Racing – Races 13, 14 & 15
Rod Barnes (PRO) Reports:
Sunday was a sensational day on the Harbour. After a rainy few days, we turned up to clear blue skies, crisp and cold conditions and, like most other Sundays in winter, a relatively clear Harbour. It’s such a contrast to those busy summer days and there is a huge reward if you can just get out from under the doona.
There were a few stragglers, but by the time the second race came around, there was more than 30 boats on the water. We welcomed a few visitors from Middle Harbour and Vaucluse and it was a fantastic effort from all who attended.
Thanks to the on-water crew of Craig Ryan, Andrew Craker and Andrew Foote. With a couple of tweaks to the course, we were racing with a beautiful WSW breeze ranging from 14 to 21 knots.
In the ILCA 6 class, James Gosling had a great day in the point score finishing with two firsts and a second, and in the Championships, Healy Ryan dominated the fleet.
Patrick Black also had a good day in the ILCA 7 point score finishing with two firsts and a third, and in the championships, Luke Parker, Quentin Burns and Nick Pellow all had wins.
