Yesterday’s Bight Race that was lacking wind - at least the sun made an appearance ☀️

Upcoming events to note…

Hi Skippers, the final race for the summer season is this Saturday . Which is a re- run from late last year. See you as MS2 @ 1100.

After the threat of being blown out, the Fairway Buoy Trophy Race sure delivered. 10 to 12 Knots at the start, building to 25kts as the boats when South then dropping to 12kts on the final leg, against the tide to the line. The 2 new boats an Adams 10 and Beneteau 40.7 First, both preformed extremely well for their first race at the club. Can't wait until presentation night to announce the winner.😁

Hi Skippers, this weekend is the Fairway buoy trophy race , starting at 10am from buoy 28.

So Middle spit claims another but who??? That doesn't matter, we all had a great day rounding Middle Spit from the South, and then a run to the North up the channel then reach to 35 the a beat home. Thanks to all without assists from our volunteers our bays races would not be possible. Sorry not a lot of photos this week, Mark we miss you!!! See you in 2 weeks

Hi Skipper, Racing Saturday, Start 11:00 at MS2, don’t forget your crew manifest.

Race 5, was a gem, strong tides and light winds. Due to tide we had a longer day on the water but the racing was close and this was reflected in the corrected time. See you all in 2 weeks. I will attempt to add some videos but facebook is not playing nice.

Hi Skipper , the Bay Race series resumes this Saturday. Don’t forget your crew manifest must be in by 10:30 am race day.

It’s with great disappointment we have postponed this weekends regatta. The new arrangements will be announced ASAP.

Hi Members, Entries for Saturday’s regatta / social event close 5:30 tomorrow. Please get your forms back to the Club Captain and Treasurer ASAP

Hi Skippers, it’s almost time for the club captains regatta. 3,4 Feb. This year we will run 2 races on both Saturday and Sunday, each will be a short courses from our standard course book. There will be an evening meal and drinks, similar to last year for those who wish to participate on the Saturday night. Let’s make it a great night as always and invite the whole crew.
Please check you email over the next few days for the entry form as we will need them back by mid next week to arrange and finalise numbers, also if you confirm your attending by send me a message prior via text or in the comments that would be great.

Sorry for the delay, it is the silly season after all. Our last race (4) for the year was held on the 16 Dec. It was an action packed day after the previous race had been abandoned. The course was Joe Island to keep the race in the top end of the bay. WNW at 15 to 20 and a few bullets thrown in. Unfortunately we had 2 retirements, damage wasn't too bad and everyone returned safe and no injuries. :)

Hey Skipper’s, fingers crossed, racing tomorrow, start at 11:00, Crew Manifest in by 10:30

Last weeks Sunday Bight Race. See you all again tomorrow for an afternoon sail, race starts at 4pm!
