(Report by Tim Duguid)
A very pleasant day for sailing with a moderate breeze of about eight knots blowing from the East, later switching to SE. Tim Duguid did the honours as Race Officer for the day and, by his own admission, found the task of doing it single-handedly quite a challenge !!!
Unfortunately numbers were lacking on the water with five Hunters and Georg and Clive on the L26.RO Tim had the first race off at about 11h15 with the two-lap course up to No 2 (Seaport Supply) and back to the leeward can.
Rob and Jared sailed very well and seemed to outpace all the others,taking all 3 races and the Monthly Mug very comfortably.Tussles developed between Flirt and Odin with the first race going Odin's way. The second race saw Flirt pip Odin to take second on the line with a starboard/port scenario protest a close call.The final race of the day saw Odin take second from Flirt.
Tim Kerry appears to be sailing better and better and is now leading the Hunter Silver Fleet Trophy standings quite comfortably. Well done to them. Louis Legrange was also there as usual, sailing with his young son and even bravely hoisting the bag in some of the gusty runs.
Results show Odin's Eye at the top of rankings with Hybrid presently in second spot. Essex Girl is still in with a good chance at the top as average points are calculated at the end of series, when race officer duties performed are considered.
Next up........ The Big One!! Hunter Provincials!!
Come and join us.
So far we have a regatta with ten boats but this is a far cry from the usual seventeen!!!
See you all then!!
