Sailing today was run by Captain Ron and the ever-humorous Bob Auton.  A fresh North Easter oscillating over a fairly long beat to windward, triangle, and then down to a bottom mark before heading to the finish.

The fleet being split into A’s and B’s, the B fleet starting on the gun followed by the A’s at 50 seconds, it would be normal for the faster A fleet sailors to carve their way through the fleet which Polly did on a couple of occasions but I noted some outstanding performances from others, Pete Fisher, Roy B, Ralph B, Barry and others who maintained their positions out the front, a good effort considering the normal 120sec gap that Polly, myself and those with this handicap often manage to claw back. So, to you gentlemen well done.

We managed to get through 8 races but on the last race the computer died so I’m hoping Al can retrieve the results, despite a few minor incidents you lot were well behaved though some calling of infringements would be good practice. At the end of racing everybody seemed to enjoy the course set although the VJ’s didn’t fare so well, however I’m sure this tide will turn soon enough. Thanks for your participation and good humour.

Ron B. Race Officer, Vice Commodore.
