HYC Winter Series Race 1 results

The Winter Series got off to a good start with a race to Sandy Point and back. I think the race committee and the mono fleet all went to the same party the night before because it took 2 general recalls to get their race started. We had the gun Sydney 36 "Wild Goats" starting with us but despite Frassld's best attempts to park on the start line we all got away unscathed. The beat down to Sandy Point was competitive, but as the faster tris approached the turning mark the wind came in stronger from the South West for 20 minutes. Quickskips was purely by luck on the right side of the course and able to take advantage of the shift. They were keen we show the attached photo with them flying to the finish line and their main competitor still beating downwind..... The broad reach back home was fast and meant we were all first at the BBQ after the race. Well done 'Skips and a we look forward to the next race this Saturday. (sorry either our commodore has left his server switched off or blogger is busy.... the pic will come later)
