Pittwater Regatta day one

Published Sat 26 Nov 2022

A good fleet and promising breeze as we headed out however as usual this season a very changeable and difficult breeze restricted us to just one race.
So now we have an early 10:00am start for tomorrows racing with hopefully seven races.

The first and only race finally got away at 2:08 in a Northerly of sorts after the early southerly droped out. The fleet of sixteen Sabres were a bit frisky with two boats OCS but not returning after the start. The B14's were next with everybody well back from the line with a big fade out and the NS 14s last away in a clean start.

The breeze continued to fade and on the second lap near the finish line it dropped and shifted to a southerly for a while.

In the Sabres Bullet with Buterfly Wings was first home from Fr'alan however as they were both OCS missed out on the points with Bert Stephen Bradfield first official finisher with No Mischief Mike Darby second and  Jinx Jason Followes third TBA (2176)  Daniel Woods forth and BBB Chris Boon fifth.

In the B14s Bondi Tram Scott Foster and Mike Fuller was first from Bang Bang Stephen Mitchell and Sarah Krulow second and Phantom Steve Miller and Roger Jackson third and in the NS14s Bumps  Pat Hutton and Georgia Ottway was first from Spinifex Peter and Karen Davis second and Viva la Vida Darren Eggins and Alastair Lord third.

After re setting the course there was another attempt at a start but the wind died and the RO abandoned that start and eventually called it a day and sent everyone ashore.

A big day tomorrow with seven races to be completed with an early start of 10:00am
