Autumn Series Race 3

29/2/2020

The last race in February is significant as one of Sydney's busiest days.
Who will sail today at PRSC? There will be those who will show their true (glittery) colours and have appointments at the hairdressers for the annual BSC service, and will take the day off to watch the exciting racing. And there will be those who stay loyal and true to PRSC.

Autumn Race No. 2

22/2/2020

Second Autumn race and the wind direction was forecast E to SE down the harbour, looking around the river and not much breeze at all.

With a cyclone brewing off Lord Howe Island sucking all the air away from us on the Parramatta river, today could be interesting.

Div 1 - Special Trophies Series - Race 1

28/9/2019

We started, we lost everybody, we saw Still Festering round Shark Island as we were going to Shark Island. We saw Xena Warrior Princess and it was really windy in the harbour. We put up our spinnaker near Cockatoo Island without incident. We came back to the clubhouse and received adulation as winners on handicap (and the bottle of wine). The end.

It is Saturday 1-12-2018 but not your usual Saturday for season 2018 because for a lovely, old world change we have a great Nor’easter forecast. The prospect of enjoying all that the gods have to offer. A great breeze, warmth on our face, plus great competition.

With the fleet of PRSC lining up for the start. Division 3 have starters for the day being, Xena, FireFly and a great welcome back to Sandy and his team on Wind Falls. Barry from Farrago is Farraway bringing home his new baby, lets hope we are all invited to the house warming!!!!!!

12/11/2018

We all assembled at the club for delivery to LoEG ( League of Extraordinary Gentlemen) midday.
At the boat it was the usual bit of light maintains reload the Esky, next we see Willo and George rowing to the boat. All aboard so up goes our main, drinks called as we head down to the club.
Talk then starts about sail selection for the harbour, with a run out tide and the wind on our back coming home. The right selection of the jib can make our day.

Today is the start of the Summer series at PRSC, with a variable breeze forecast to be NW swinging to the SE. Last year we were blown of the water with a similar forecast, likewise a few years earlier. Send her down Huey, and we'll treat you with respect.

Div 1 - Spring Series - Race 4

23/10/2018

We motored out of Tarban Creek and felt the the strength of the southeasterly piping out of Five Dock Bay so we reefed the main rather badly and sailed up to the start. We decided to shake out the main and use our number two jenoa knowing that we would be over powered in Hen and Chicken Bay.
