Winter Championship / Point Score Races 19, 20 & 21

A blue-bird morning of racing. All photos by David Da Costa Enes.

A 9kt westerly was already in place as the course was set, and didn’t change all morning. This made it easy for the support boat as no marks needed moving. A short start line made preparation paramount. Top mark near Clarke island and an incoming tide needed strategy and brilliant sunshine needed sunglasses.

A contingent of 30 Laser sailors, who launched promptly and paddled, sculled and/or flipflopped their way out of the bay.

Race 1 got off bang on time, but the rolling start for the ILCA7’s failed because the flag attendant was coaching his 4.7 son. No complaints though.

The wind held steady, the races proceeded rapidly and we were ashore at 10.
