Race Results
It was good to get back on the water after our break due to covid restrictions. All skippers took the restrictions seriously and a good days sailing was had by all.
Greg once again showed us the way, with Brad and John keeping him honest. Greg took some time to help Steve tune his boat.
Thanks Greg your assistance was much appreciated. BC
What had the potential of being a great day at Emerald Lakes had to be called short due to a gov look down to come into effect at 1600. We were able to get 9 good races in before we had to call time to allow he skippers time to be home by 1600. We were fortunate to have Gary McCarthy, Brian Sheering and Peter Sherwood sail with us today. It was a pleasure to have your company and hope to see a lot more of you in upcoming events. Congratulations to our winners: Brad, Allan and John. BC
The Covid restrictions are having a heave effect on visitors from Brisbane or from south of the boarder. The wind was from the west and required B rigs to be used by all boats, The small fleet made for competitive racing. Congratulations to our winners: Peter Warwick and Mike. Andrew was sailing his new, beautifully prepared timber Corbie. BC
The wind was WSW at approx. 20 kph. Once again Brad set a very good and fair course. The handicap racing was very close with only three points separating the top six places.
Richard sailed very well with three first and a second included in his score. He asked me to point out although Brad beat him by 1.4 points, Brad only had one first so it was a moral victory to Richard. I am sure his results will be spoken of at Banora Point on Monday.
With all the excitement of Richard kicking Brads butt, it should be remembered that Bill Croston took out out the day. Well done Bill.
We had Will Charlton and Steve Lucas sailed with us today. It was great to see you and please come again. BC
