Hi Skippers,
A really nice afternoon of light wind sailing with the blue sky and sunshine for the 11 skippers.
We were joined by Mario # 04 from Victoria who is here for 1 month on holidays.
He won the day but his results were dropped from the sailscores Club scoring.
It was a close afternoon of sailing with the 3 -5 knot wind moving for South to SE and then to the East. Lucky we had 3 buoubots so we could adjust the start line and bottom mark. Derick had a very good day with many podium places and won the day. Geoff Morris suffered a job boom failure but lucky for him he had another A rig in the car and we was quickly back up and racing. John Halloran #83 suffered a rudder servo issue on the last race and his yacht sailed itself all the way to the buildings on the other side of the lake.
Doug Turner and I had to launch the dinghy and use the brand new outboard for the first time. We could only do idle to 1/2 throttle so it took a while to get to John’s yacht. All good in the end as John could get to his Christmas in July party night at Montville. Thanks Doug for your help and to the helpers onshore to put the dinghy back on the trailer.
Congrats to the place getters:
1st Derick Warne #97 20 points
2nd Simon Kellett #58 26 points
3rd Geoff Morris #96 /28 28 points

Thanks to Derick for taking the trailer to Tony’s house.
We did 10 mins of motoring with the new motor. Gosh it ran smoothly.
Well done Mark Lewis for getting the new outboard.
See you all on Tuesday for Winter Series H’cap sailing.
Happy sailing,
Simon K
