Club Championship Races 9 and 10
Championships 9-10 were held in lovely NE conditions- hopefully a great prequel to the Australian ILCA Masters this coming weekend, being held in Port Stephens. There was a little bit of light haze and cloud with some easterly shifts and a busy Harbour kept us on our toes when setting the course.
Officiating were Martin Gill and Gay Rosen, with David Murphy as LTRAR, Patrick Black COTD, Robert Bruce CoCOTD and Ben Byford on RIB reserve.
On water some scintillating sailing was seen, from Sylvia and Xander joining for a training session - both in radials!, and special guest member Jon Emmet also looking great on the water with a number of Open NSW and National squad visitors mixing it up with the club. Thanks so much to those who kindly stayed beyond the finish mark after the race to make the task aboard Jazzman easier.
In the 6s DBSC honours went to Scott Hunter and Geoff Kirk, in 7s Max Williams and Campbell Patton, and in the 4s, with only 2 hardy souls in race 9, Zoe Allen got the win over Ben Phillips.
Best of luck at the Masters!
