Hi Skippers,
We had a chilly afternoon with 10 -18 knot SW to SE winds. At least the sun was out. Chairs were getting blown over during the gusts. The 10 skippers were joined by Andrew Wilson ( Buoybot creator ) from Brisbane. It was nice to have Andrew sailing with us with his VISS IOM. He won the day but his results have been removed from the Club results.
Doug Turner # 82 managed to combine the 1st and 2nd half of the day and won the day with 18 points. Great sailing !! Geoff Morris was showing off his Cockatoo IOM and won 3 races with great judgement and speed. This got him into 2nd place.
I think all skippers had moments of brilliance and moments of diaster.
Congrats to the place getters;
1st Doug Turner #82 18 points
2nd Geoff Morris #96 31 points
3rd Simon Kellett #141 31 points ( on countback)

Thanks to John Halloran and Bill Heritage for scoring and running the start box. Great job and much appreciated!
We ended up with a Buoybot #8 thanks to Andrew which was used at the top mark as an offset.
Thanks for the team effort on packing up the buoybots and trailer.
See you all on Saturday for Meter Cup Scratch / H’cap racing.
Happy sailing,
Simon K
