Another great days sailing, The numbers where down a bit from previous meeting with some sailors having other commitments on the day. The winds where fairly light but steady all day. The last two races on the day we tried a couple of handicap races and they turned out to be great fun, Maybe something we should think about including for a couple of races each class5 day. Dam the year has gone fast with only a few meetings to go to finish the season.

Handy cap race, great fun, make a mistake and they get you
I think somebody in a club 88 thought they would fit in the space you were sailing in there vic
I love the rough and tumble, you will never see a protest from me. Guess it a hangover from my speedway days(no quarter given)

Quite day at the lake.
The first race was abandoned as the wind died and did return to around 3.30. A couple fun races where run but no results where recorded on the day.

Another quite day at the lake today not a breath of wind all day, We all stayed to the end of the day but no sailing. It was still a nice day sitting around spinning stories. Sandgropers are a great mob of guys and girls. Very happy to be part of it.

A bit damp on occasion last Sunday but of course that adds to the fun ..
This beast is going to be a force to be reckoned with next season, development going really well

Well that is the season over for 2013, its been a great years sailing and a lot of fun.
The wind was light and patchy and only three races where completed. A lot of us stalled while others went sailing by(very frustrating) but all adds to be fun.
The lake was cleared of all our sailing equipment and we settled into a quite barby. The AGM in June is the next time we all get together. Thanks for a great season everyone.

did you get a longer season this year i dont recall you guys and girls sailing till the rains came
Week before Mothers day is usually the cutoff, wind is normally a lottery after Easter but we have been fortunate this year.
Great turnout for the last day, especially since a couple of regulars were missing
After the racing was called off and most were packed up the wind came up. Hate it when that happens, but those of us still rigged up went out for a hoot. All went well until...
Bugger!
First job to be done when it is stripped. That is the only one I broke this year.
Tell you what that 6mm wall legs I use take some bending(they haven't bent in 6 years and have taken some punishment with the amount of axle's that I have broke).
The AGM was held yesterday and it was a great night, good atmosphere and plenty of friendly banta.
Seasons results.
