More race training in a light breeze in the morning and two pennants after lunch in a shifty Easterly of sorts but with a solid fleet of six Sabres six NS14s including Melinda Lord for her first race this season and Hunter Howe in his new boat Norwegian Blue and just two B14s.
The first attempt at a race eventually got away in a light SE breeze after waiting for it to settle with all three classes starting before a 100+ degree wind shift saw the race abandoned and back to the start line.
After re setting the course the Sabres started at 14:46 in a NE breeze that was still pretty unsettled.
First boat home was Jumpin' Jack Flash who took a big dig out to the right and picked up a different breeze to the rest of the fleet with a big win over three minutes ahead of Phantom.
In the Sabres TBA lead all race to record a one minute win over Apisca with Loose Change in third. In the NS14s it was Sundaze first from Noiseworks (sailing one up) in second and Viva la Vida in third.
Sabres TBA Chris Keil first Apisca Jo-Anne Verrier second and Loose Change Phil Bloomfield third. Handicap About Time Sarah Haywood first Wind Wizard Sarah Michael second and Micks Boat Shane Gorringe third.
NS14s Sundaze Sam & Lindy Bailey first Noiseworks Stephen Townsend second and Viva la Vida Darren Eggins and Billie Nelson third on Handicap it was Avengers Lewis Bowen and Jess Smith first Noiseworks Stephen Townsend second and Under the Radar Melinda Lord and Deanna Hanson third.
B14s Jumpin Jack Flash Roger Jackson and Luke Verceli first Phantom Steve Miller & Safiya Davidson second Handicap the same.
Race two got away from 15:46 with the Sabres in a still mostly easterly breeze but far from stable though light with the base breeze below 8 knots and an occasional gust to a max 12.
Again it was TBA in the Sabres from Apisca second then About Time third.
NS14s it was Sundaze first from Noiseworks and Viva la Vida in third after all the boats had been stuck in no breeze near the wind mark. In the B14s it was closer but Jumpin Jack Flash again won from Phantom.
Sabre TBA first Apisca second and About Time third on Handicap it was About Time first TBA second and Apisca third.
NS14s Sundaze first Viva la Vida second and Noiseworks third with the same result on Handicap.
B14 Jumpin' Jack Flash first Phantom second same result on Handicap.
