We were all waiting for the starter to select the course for today. The weather forecast during the week was for a light SE breeze, but around the club it was much stronger and in all directions.
. Up goes the Shark Island course flag, Willo calls sail changes inside the 5 minute gun and out comes the No.1 headsail with both the big and small kites at the ready.
Good start by all SF, Ax, Loeg, NL and BV, It’s full on tack after tack between the club and Wrights point. The boats by now had fallen into a few holes and spread out. Both SF and LoEG were neck to neck down to Cockatoo Island then on to the Harbour Bridge. Looking back we could not see any PRSC boats, on to Shark Island then home. Side by side with SF at the turn and up go our kites.
Heading back to the Harbour Bridge we see both Div. 3 and the rest of our Division boats well spread out. As we go under the bridge SF takes the North side and we take the South side of the river so that the Oil Tanker can go out to sea.
Its neck to neck again with SF all the way back to the Club. On the way to No 1 mark SF improves boat speed, then first around.
SF finishes after 3 hours of hard work by 53 seconds. Very enjoyable.
But our handicap got us the Wine today. Thanks to all Crews and Starters, a good days sailing.
