7th October 2007
The day started slowly with only three boats on the water for Race One. Big Alex in PT Southern Comfort took line honours over Micah in Karizma
(P Class) followed by Little Alex in Tiger (Tiger Cub). A break for lunch which included fresh warm scones encouraged more sailors were get out on the water and enjoy the breezy sunny day. Big Alex and Iain in Southern Comfort enjoyed the freshening conditions, with Micah and Peter in the Phase II (Micah's Dad - first time sailing) came in second place. Evan and Lauren (a visiting American Uni student) in the other Phase II followed behind. Little Alex took the opportunity to learn to fly a ahead of Evan and Lauren (Phase II) with Alex (Tiger Cub) coming in fourth. Shaun (Opti) gave a Comfort tutored by Alex the PT whipped around the course to take out line honours in Race 3. Micah and Peter (Phase II) kept and a new club member took their Laser young sailor some tuition sailing in another Opti, Matt and Micah took a Phase II out for a spin after the racing, hull in the Tiger Cub. Race 3 and Evan gave Lauren a swim with a capsize at the start line in the jostle for best starting position. (Evan stayed dry - what a gentleman!) With Iain at the helm of Southern out for a sail. A very pleasant day was had by all - but other boats were sorely mis
sed! Many thanks to Claire and Cam for OD and the helpers on the BBQ (Jean and Werner).
