Wow!! how close was this day?  Congratulations to Adrian for his first win.  And another great day with heaps of wind allowing 14 races.  The handicap system again allowed all to be competitive with 9 skippers winning at least one race.  While not recorded, the one metre that Phillip L trialled today showed excellent speed and easily matched it with the Marbleheads in the lighter winds.  Looks a winner  Phillip!  We now have three members with one metre yachts - maybe we need to think about including these in some of the special days we have held in the past where other types of yachts are allowed.

Any day we can sail 13 races means there was wind!  Some really close racing was evident today often with 5 yachts rounding the last mark with race to the line.  Promising signs were also seen from our newest sailors Adrian and Ian who both had some good results during the day.

Again winds were consistent today and some close racing was evident often 4 or 5 yachts going around the leeward buoy together to start the last beat.  David was again very competitive and was unlucky not to make it 2 in a row until Ben took him out in race12 with a flat battery and maybe robbing him of the two places he needed.

First Race of 2012 - numbers down a little because 4 members in Hobart in Nationals.  Phillip Levi was the best of the SA contingent.  Phillip sailed well in the trying conditions with gusts to 40 knots at least!!  David was the consistent sailor at Woorabinda.  Winds were kind allowing 12 races to be sailed.
