Racing is on this coming Sunday, with a briefing at midday. (Skippers registration link)
This is our last race day and last championship day for the summer season. Second place in the Corsairs and Laser divisions is up for grabs between a couple of boats, while the Impulse winner could be up for grabs.
In the Corsairs, Aidan and Mia look to be taking the chocolates with their dad, Matt, in support…but the second place could be a nail-biter with Mark and Guy both very much in contention with one point between them.
For the Lasers, occasional champion Kate seems to have locked in a season win, but again, second place is between Lex, Monique and Debbie, all within two points of each other!
As for the Impulses, there could be a few surprises, depending on who gets over the line first…but current leader Peter Fell also does the race results…so…we may need some finish line photography.
Current second place Impulse sailor, Dave is selling his boat, Matchbox. If you’re interested in his boat, then perhaps get in touch before Sunday, as if he wins the championship, then the boat’s value will go up! (Contact Dave on 0417 631 292)
We expect a larger than typical spectator fleet enjoying the competition. There should be plenty of space on the river bank for shorebound spectators. No bookings are necessary, but come early to save a decent viewing spot!
Please fill in this form for Sunday if you’d be interested in crewing (no experience necessary). A skipper may get in touch with you. Or come along on the day (the earlier, the better) to see if you can find a ride. Details on what to bring are here. Skippers, your list of the available crew is here.
