Another great turnout with 14 boats racing. A new challenge today with fickle winds that couldn’t decide what direction they wanted come from. Once again it was Team Effort that showed the fleet the way to take the win. Handicap honours went to Footprint.

With 15 boats in the main fleet and a couple of Opti’s on the water it was a great day with a breeze to test. It was also a day that brought everything; boat on boat action, a sinking, a walk in the mangroves, flexible attention to the course, a capsize and abandon ship. Even Team Effort which left the fleet in its wake for both scratch and handicap wasn’t without some gear challenges.

On a day that was promising a brisk breeze, a delayed Race 2 had to be shortened as the wind dropped. In an act of grand larceny Sub Zero stole the gun from Sarnia. Sailing a strong race, Family Affair took the Handicap honours.

The competition proper started this weekend for the 2018-19 season. The turnout was good with 13 boats. In light airs it was Footprint once again showing its speed and holding off the challenge to take line honours. Pollyanna (sailing as the club boat while under going as face lift), took the handicap gun.

With the promise of a lively breeze, a good turn of 11 boats was achieved. The race conditions were great with fairly constant pressure. Team Effort reminded us why he is on a scratch handicap, leaving all in his wake to take the gun. Incognito took the honours on corrected times.
