Tales 16th
February 2008
We had a very light wind from the east to start with
and a very low tide to contend with, proving difficult
to launch some boats. Colin Coleman& Doug Williams
decided to sail the white yngling rather than damage
their boat on the boat ramp.
With 10 boats in the fleet, the lumpy seas were going
to make it a trying day. However the wind picked up
and all boats got away to a terrific start. Peter
Geekie & Stewie Mathews N.Y.A.W.B. were first
around the 1st mark and were never headed . Gary Millar
& Jeffrey Richardson Sweatshop & the Lindseys
Town Bike were in hot pursuit. Making a majestic appearance
for the first time was the new yacht 10 plus 1,a Jeanneau
39 owned by Ken Goodison, which finished way ahead
of the other keel boats .
David Robb was thoroughly enjoying himself on the
Diamond with Matt Armstrong & Peter Bourne. The
girls on Sista Mermaid, Marg Findlay, Susie McBride,
Angie Heard, sailed a great race to win the Hcp section
of the race. However the Tool of the Week would have
to be Gary again leaving his sail home in Wongarra
