Have just returned from the Club. Perfect afternoon with a light north easterly about 4/5 knots. I set the usual course for these conditions but as it was light

kept it short in case of the wind failing altogether. But all 6 yachts finished comfortably & reasonably close together.

Jeremy Bellengere was outstanding sailing his own design “Nondescipt” J.B.20. Starting late he set about overtaking the fleet & just pipped Peter Metcalfe

In his Hunter by 20 secs!!!!! Peter led from the start & romped away from the other 2 Hunters & the two Extra’s. It was a very enjoyable race & my

appreciation to Brenda Tarboton & Roger Eshmade with running the event.

 Results: 1st J. Bellengere  J.B.20   1 Hr 06.25

             2nd P. Metcalfe    H145     1Hr 06.45

             3rd. R. Tarboton   X876      1hr 10.12

             4th. M.Patrick      X874      1hr 11.24

             5th  M.Hultze       H2          1hr 12.21

             6th  R.Solomon    H405      1hr 13.10

Hope this is all you need if not please let me know. Hope you & the Family are well.

I will put the sheets in the Committee Room when next I am at the Club

Regards

Good morning HMYC members

Our winter has definitely started with a vengeance, and our sailing calendar is drawing to a close.

Firstly, I must apologise for an error I made in my last email. Gybeset is a private newsletter not distributed by SA Sailing.  So please email info@gybeset.co.za directly if you are interested in being placed on the mailing list.

Reminders:

The Autumn Handicap race, Sunday 10th
We have received the ISAF Worlds selection criteria – please let me know if you would like me to forward you a copy.
A gentle reminder of the KZN Halcat Class Provincial Championships 2011 to be held at Island Sailing Club on 16/17 April.
So far, there have been three positive replies to holding a long distance race and braai at Dukuduku on the day of the closing cruise, ie Sunday 17 April.  Please let me know asap as there are quite a few arrangements that need to be made if this is to go ahead.

See you at the club

Dave
