A LARGE fleet took to the water on Saturday, after several difficult race days, the fleet enjoyed blue sky and consistent breeze.
The pelicans sailed two short races both won by Sonic with Sailor Townsend and crew Ollie Roodhouse.
Nearly all the crews were place getters showing the growing confidence of the young sailors.
Two 420’s raced in the Mixed Monos, Hillzeeze narrowly beating Intrepid.
It is hoped that at least two more 420’s will be on the water next week.
In mixed cats, Buzz Off just managed to keep Mak-A-Tak at bay in another close duel.
Many of the growing tasar fleet are still racing their lasers and sharpies so the club have yet to view this new to us class, at full strength.
Straightjacket led Charisma home with first time tasar team members showing promise.
Eight lasers sailed a close race Syd had fastest time with Bryte Townsend in Nani a near second.
La Luna took a well deserved first place on handicap.
Sharpies’ Amber Dreams continues to maintain superiority over Suicide Blonde.

Millenium Falcon came second giving the Tram a hurry up, only minutes behind.
