We ran the scheduled Nav Rally on 14-Feb-2026 with 3 power boats participating after a late withdrawal from Merewether Too (Geoff Steele).
It was a lovely sunny day on the Bay with light east to south east winds. Course 108 starting near Martha Cove entrance up around Mornington Mussell Farm and return.
Participating boats were Hugewind skippered by Alan Adams with his wife Isa crewing at 10 knots, Shimmer skippered by Shaun McVicar with his wife Andrea crewing at 15 knots, and Sea Child skippered by Bill Wilson, with crew Malcolm Knight and grandson Coben McKenzie subbing in for regular crew Marilyn Wilson, running at 18 knots.
Skippers all reported feeling a bit rusty due to the long break between last season's events and this first MYC sponsored Rally, previously scheduled MYC rallies not running due to weather or unavailability.
Competition was enthusiastic and scores have been calculated and posted online at "Current Times & Results"
In the "Consistency (Handicap) Comp Alan Adams on Hugewind placing first on handicap results, with significantly improved results over last years handicap score. Average actual points lost per mark being 11.
Bill Wilson Sea Child placed 2nd on handicap results, and Shimmer third.
In the "Championship (Line Honours) Comp 1st place went to Bill Wilson on Sea Child with average actual points lost per mark being 6.4, including several marks with no points lost. (a good result). Hugewind second and Shimmer third.
See actual times and points calculations via the Detailed Results and Summary Results page links.
The new addition to the personalized Nav Rally Time Sheet Log Forms showing speed compensation values for each leg were helpful in skippers adjusting boat speed each leg to compensate for early or late arrival at the previous mark.
Malcolm Knight looks forward to joining the Nav Rally fleet in his boat "Toes in the Water II" in subsequent nav rally events.
Thanks & Regards,
Bill Wilson
