Another reasonable breeze for the harbour racing on Sunday but only 7 yachts made the start with only 2 from A div .
Race 1
The wind was a steady 15 odd knots with occasional gusts up around 20knts. B div start saw Libby and Dawn Song heading for the line together with Libby to windward and she paid the price as Dawn Song shut her out at the line making her have to tack away missing the line. Muritai had left her run a bit late and eventually crossed the line quite late. Trifecta and Wright One had a reasonable start but todays breeze was right up Trifectas alley and she soon cleared away. Dawn Song left the B div in her wake and established an unassailable lead never to relinquish it taking line honours. Trifecta was next at the start finish, with Anitra and Libby and Wright One close behind. Moonshadow and Muritai completed the field.
Race 2
Dawn Song was promoted to A div based on her time from the first race with only a minimum of whinging from her crew. B div got away with a much improved performance from Muritais timing and her and Moonshadow had a good tussle through the race. Anitra and Libby fought it out at the head of Div B with Anitra holding on to her lead.
A Div saw Wright One and Dawn Song slugging it out with Dawn Song taking the honours due to her impressive ability to point higher and the spinnaker run down wind. Trifecta again relished the conditions and took overall line honours from Anitra, Dawn Song, Libby, Wright One, Moonshadow and Muritai. Unfortunately for Trifecta her handicap still wont allow her to get any bragging rights under handicap but that should slowly change.
Blue skies, Rex
