I have been away a bit lately here are the results fot the club88/class5 handicap day for the 8th March
Club Championship Day for Class5 . 15.03.2015.
Great days racing with a steady wind, we were worried that the cyclone may have put to much water on the lake. It ended up dry and a perfect surface for racing.
Some of the new sailors are realy starting to fly and take some catching. Plil is giving me a hard time in Paul's old yacht. Jay is really flying

3rd Class5 Club Championship day.
Great days racing with a good fleet of class5 plus mini.
The wind held all day so we managed to complete all races, Ron set a fast course due to light wind conditions. Race positions varied as we tried to establish a bit of a handicap for the 26"wheel yachts. I think we managed to get the distance as all yachts were mixing it up in the last lap.(made for some great racing. Phil ended up winner at the end of the day. Thanks all for helping set up and packing up at the end of the day.
Next Sunday is an open day so anyone interested in land sailing come down and give it a try.

Yeah Vic, it's amazing how liberating a bit of alcohol is, especially on a cold dark night when the soft cox have turned out the lights
Last Sunday the gropers had an open day, with quite a few visitors and the camera club coming down for a sail, I think everyone enjoyed themselves. A past member Peter Le Scelle supplied me some pics from a few years ago. I will post some. Next weekend is the last of the club championship days for this season.
cheers

Last Sunday was the last club championship day for the season. Strong gusty winds were the order of the day which made for some exciting races , a few capsizes and Jay breaking a back axle was the result .

Well a great season for the Sandgropers has finally come to an end. We had a very successful State championship in combination with the Blokart club. I don,t think there was a day during the season that we did not get all races completed . Thanks everyone from the club for there help during the season. We have the AGM to look foward to on the 12th June and our yearly visit to Lake Lefroy at the end of September. We are in the process of planing a great season for next year
