Race two of the Barfoot &
Thompson combined 2 handed series was a cracker!
More sunshine, warm conditions,
and 15-20 knot northerlies made for an epic days sailing.
There was some uncertainty in the
morning when no one could spot the start boat (because it wasn’t there) But we were soon to have services of both the
clubs start boats, and after a short delay the
gun sounded for a long reach to haystack with about 17 boats enjoying
the conditions.
Planet X was around first,
followed by Glory Days, Prozac, Raiatea and Charlatan . Wild Thing,
sailing extremely well for an 8.4 metre boat rounded with Montrachet and First
Priority, then took off on the gennaker hoist.
It was a great sight of the fleet
going down the Rangi coastline with kites up.
The wind filled in for the beat
back to Arkles Bay
Congratulations to Glory Days, Raiatea
& Planet X for 1st, 2nd & 3rd and to
Flasher for winning $50 as top boat from the other club.
