Autumn Pointscore Race Report
Kirk Marcolina
A variable south to southeast wind tested the 45 boats who competed in Autumn Pointscore Heats 5 & 6. The breeze was shifty and fluctuated between 10 and 25 knots; adding to the challenge was a rare Double Bay Southerly course. All the elements combined to make it quite a fun and challenging day of racing. The winners were: Standards: Rod Barnes (heat 5) and Gerry Donohoe (heat 6); Radials: Jack Littlechild (heat 5) and Otto Henry (heat 6). Thanks to this week’s race volunteers — Daryl Lawrence (PRO) and Clare Alexander on the Jazzman, James Tudball and Niko Churkoski on the RIBs, and Jim Dounis in the canteen.
