Div 3 - Autumn Series - Race 2

27/2/2017

0 Comments

 
​Even though Barry has Farrago in a bag he noticed a bit of growth on the rudder, so be had a diver do a clear.  The diver cleaned some shell between the runner and keel, so we started the day with a nice clean hull.

The day was cool with some drizzle with a moderate southerly breeze.  Anne chose a number 2 course (South). Barry assigned the helm to myself with he and Darren working the winches. Three boats lined up on the start, Farrago (us), Xena and Memphis.  Memphis has a great start hitting the line right on the signal; we followed a few seconds later.

​For LoEG’o it was the usual pre start drinks and with young George Wilson again racing with us.
He reported on his visit to the Doctor last Monday for a very red and raw throat, a result from
  eating a family size bag of corn chips while sailing , this week he had same size bag but just
  standard chips with plenty of water to drink.   Problem solved we hope this week.......

​11th Feb. 2017 Autumn Series Race 1

Apologies one and all for the tardiness of this report however the responsible party (imported lowlife from LOEG who not only stole our wine but now refuses to write the report) has managed to evade capture thus it falls on my barrel chested shoulders :).

Div 1 - Special Trophies Series- Race 5

20/2/2017

​Special Trophies Race 5 started in a sou easterly breeze at about 15 knots but with holes around Abbotsford Pt. 2.15pm high tide and all four Div1 boats in attendance.
 
The start was spectacular with all boats at speed and right on the line on the gun (no Barry the battler, none of us were over as confirmed by Anne – an optometrist booking has been made for you……..) with RSGT to windward of AOE, LOEG and SF. The blaze across to east Bedlam Bay was overproof rum and SF footed through to leeward and after a couple of tacks laid Searles to lead by a couple of boat lengths from RSGT with LOEG inside them, and these positions held on the close reach to Drummoyne Pt.

​The river was welcomed us with scattered clouds and a nice ESE breeze at around 10 knots. We were to find out that this nice breeze did have plenty of gusts, lifts and knocks in. Darrell forgot his gloves so he claimed the helm with Barry and I grinding.  The foredeck work as assigned to myself because I “need the practice”......

​Our usual skipper, Carolyn, was avoiding the hot Sydney weather by gallivanting about in Hobart at the wooden boat show in Tassie. So her motley crew found it necessary to brave the elements (37.5 Deg C) without her.. ​...

​I don’t think I have sweated so much in the lead up to a race before. The lack of wind had us worried as we struggle when the wind is light. But as always great humour was aboard Memphis. Thankfully after a mercy dash back ashore and to the local, we had some suitable refreshments for the day out.....

​The day started with very high humidity, a reading of 92% to be precise. We were able to read this before the race on the newly installed weather station base unit inside the doors out to the deck. 92% translates into 'dripping wet' when even thinking about physical activity......
