For this Harbour race there were two contenders in division 3, Xena Warrior Princess, and Windfalls. The blustery weather delivered 25 knot NE bullets interspersed with 5 knot lulls and having misread the “silent” start  Windfalls found herself chasing down Xena Warrior Princess, before catching her near Gladesville bridge and built a moderate lead. ​

Div 3 - Long Series - Race 2

By Paul Fowler (Farrago)
We were greeted by a glorious Sydney day.  Winds were light at only 4 or 5 knots so were a little surprised to see the Long Course flag flying.  As it turned out Peter and Carmel were right to keep to the program and send us to the harbour.  A special thanks to Peter and Carmel for doing the starter duties too, they seem to be gone before anyone gets a chance to thank them. ​...

​It was a nice sunny afternoon for a Long harbour race. We were out late from the mooring  as we were missing a crew member, missing our usual pre race cruise, so we headed over to Sydney rowers to say hello to our skipper on the balcony celebrating early her birthday......

We had had some extreme winds in the week before the race, but the forecast was for a moderate westerly.  Looking a bit gusty, we settled on our no. 3 jib and full main. We set out with just two on board, Barry on the helm and myself on the jib. As we headed off across the line into the westerly it suddenly picked up to 25kts or more and we stated to question the wisdom of being out there......​

​Excitement filled the air with the first race of the Special Trophies Series. We saw Fine Balance, Snowgoose, Farrago and of course Xena running the line for the Harbour Race. With light air at the Rowers Club, we stuck to the middle for the start and to take advantage of the fresh air. High South West winds were predicted.
