The Rear Commodore Jacko was in high Bundy Spirits tonight to see 33 boats competing in ideal 15-20 knot South to South Easterly conditions. We had new Day Pass members return after Discover Sailing day on Sunday and thank you Sandara, First Light, Phoenix and Javelin for taking extra crew.
The new Mark Hodgson, Beneteau 48 :Something Blue" arrived for its first race and was immediately surrounded by the Tackers 3 Optis and they were so in awe with its beauty 2 of the 3 capsized.
Eicks was expecting GT to make a special appearance having only recently returned from a 3rd at the Worlds on "Scratch" but understandably was a late withdrawal.
Course 2R was set by RO Steve giving the longest downwind leg possible and I expect frustrating all those wanting to surf the waves with Spinnakers in near perfect conditions. By the final leg the wind was shifting to the East and made it primarily a long Port windward beat .
Congratulations to the Trailable and 2 x sports boats for finishing on the podium tonight.
