Hi Skippers
12 DF65’s this morning for our DF65 Revolution Cup – 5 scratch & 5 Handicap races. One skipper had switch issues before racing & another floatation issues so 10 on the water.
Due to the heavy rain we had overnight we all parked in the car park to prevent churning up the sodden grass. Thanks to all for their cooperation & understanding…. I know it’s a pain but we have to take a responsible approach to looking after the point or potentially risk losing our right to park there at all.
Apart from a slight shower we had sunshine & a pretty reasonable breeze. Started on the western side but changed to the eastern course after our mid morning break as the breeze went from SSW to southerly.

Visitor Lex O’Connor #77 from Victoria raced with us today getting 30 points after discards ( inc two wins ) – his result does not show on the above results but would have come 5th .
Highlight of the Day : Nothing special this morning apart from good friendly & highly competitive racing in good conditions. … which is kind of special in my opinion !
Thanks to Geoff Morris #96 & Phil Gray #239 for assisting with the recovery of Robert C’s sinking DF65 – getting the rescue boat on the water in time as the boat was filling up with water with only the bow/sails above the water. They both get average points for missing a race to help. Thanks Guys !
At last Batteries are back in stock – that’s the second time Aust Post have lost my battery order in recent months… strange as I don’t get any issues with my other deliveries. Anyway if you need a new Life battery I have stock in my car.
Next Session : Tuesday 16th June – Winter Handicap series .
There will be NO DF65 racing on Saturday 20th June as our DF95 fleet have two day regatta over this coming weekend.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Cheers
Mark
