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.

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. ​

​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.

Summer lovin, had me a blast.....

Are these special trophy races a blast or what? And BT just keeps on giving…. Just a sublime day to be out on the water and out in the harbour.  And she just gets quicker and better, and so do the crew.

Div 1 - Spring Series - Race 6

​​For the Div1 Spring Series Race 6 (and final in the series) the wind was 10-17knots, SE course, tide going out till 3:15pm.
 
In weather you wouldn’t put your cat outside in, the coldest November weekend for 16 years, the usual (but less 2 boats)  suspects lined up – us in RGT, SF after a very late exit off their mooring to just make the start, AOE and BT. LOEG is one week away from returning so that’s good, and NL is hopefully back soon. Thankfully the (light) rain stopped just before the start but started again right on the finish. The temperature remained constant all day at shivering.

​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.
