A bit of everything conditions wise on Sunday. The wind swung to the west before the first heat resulting in a rare starboard course. After swinging and gusting through the first race the wind then settled back to the south-west and the second heat was sailed around a more standard port course.
In Division 1 Michelle and Chelsea showed the way getting practice with a spinnaker on the Hobie 16. Andrew Hill had a swim on the last lap and broke the tiller extension but on water repairs allowed him to stay out on the water and take out the second heat. On Felony, Steve was going well in the second heat when he realised he'd left the crew behind! Lynn was retrieved before too long and managed to stay on the boat for the rest of the race.
Division 2 once again saw close racing with Mark taking out the first heat but John and Andrew having a comfortable win in the second.
Col Franke narrowly took out the first heat in Division 3 but son Josh turned the tables to take out the second heat on handicap. In the second heat Alan Bryson managed a minor bingle with the Hobie 16 but fortunately no damage on either boat. You've heard of "chick-magnets" but we think Alan might be a "cat-magnet"!
Chris had Division 5 to himself after Brendan suffered some gear failure before the first start.
