Hi Skippers,
We had 9 skippers on the water for the afternoon enjoying the 12-15 knot SE winds.
8 yachts were using A rigs and John Halloran elected to use a B rig. He had to wait until heat 7 to get the chockies.
It was an extremely close afternoon of sailing. We ended up with 4 skippers all tied on 28 points. ( 3rd to 6th place) That’s the first time I’ve seen that. Gosh that makes for close racing.
Rob Priest #17 started the day strongly and continued getting podium finishes and ended up winning the day. Well done!!
It was good to see Bill Burley #80 for the first time this season. Welcome back !!
Congrats to the place getters:
1st Rob Priest #17 24 points
2nd Simon Kellett #141 26 points
3rd Bill Burley #80 28 points
4th Greg McGill #62 28 points
5th John Halloran #83 28 points
6th Derick Warne #97 28 points

Thanks to all skippers for allowing me to get through the afternoon smoothly so I could pick up my son and take him to his first day working at “Woolies”.
Thanks to all for helping with the buoybots pack up and a huge thanks to Derick for taking the trailer to Tony’s house.
My son got to his work just in time. Thanks !!
We don’t have any sailing this Saturday but remember:
FRIDAY 8.30 am onwards is buoy cleaning and re-antifouling.
Your help is needed. Contact me or Mark Lewis or Secretary.
See you all on Friday,
Happy sailing,
Simon K
