Day: 6 June 2026

Hi Skippers,
The weather gods were smiling on us this afternoon with clear sky’s, sunshine and light 5-8 knot South to SE breeze. The 8 skippers sailing enjoyed very close racing and very few penalty incidents.
Most skippers including myself, had difficulty judging the top mark and hit the bouy. Other than that it was a very clean afternoon of sailing.
Congrats to the place getters:
1st Simon Kellett #58 11 points
2nd Derick Warne #97 15 points
3rd Geoff Morris #96 26 points

After a few tries to get the motor on the dinghy going it finally ran which meant that I could lay a good course for the afternoon. ( stuck needle in carby)
Thanks to all for helping pack up the dinghy and for Derick taking the trailer to Tony’s house.
A real team effort.
A great afternoon of sailing in good breeze. Well done to all.!!
See you all on Tuesday for the 1st of our Winter H’cap series.
Happy sailing,
Simon K

Hi Skippers
A beautiful morning on the Lake – slightly chilly earlier on but glorious after the sun made an appearance. 6-8 knots SW that slowly went southerly – a few holes & shifts but all part of the fun ! Only 8 boats including Lex a visitor from Pattison Lakes In Victoria… come on DF65’s toughen up !

Our visitor Lex results are not shown in the above – he had 46 points after two drops.

Check out the Series Cumulative after 4 rounds :

Interesting to see there is only one point between the top 4 – good close racing.

Highlight of the Day : Well todays stand out was Mark Burdon #275 who after a 5-6 week long European holiday came back fighting fit & won 5 races to take out the morning.

Thanks to Tony for mark laying & trailer duties & for sorting out the outboard that played up again resulting in the marks being moved by a ‘skilled" oarsman & his trusty assistant( Mark Burdon )

Tuesday 9th June : DF65 Scratch morning, hopefully the rain forecast for tomorrow & Monday will have cleared !

The new Blue DF65 hull I mentioned on Tuesdays report has sold saving the new owner $40 on postage – don’t despair I have another if anyone is interest. First come first served.
