HYC Multihull Division Race 2 report.....

This report was kindly provided by Libby of Quickskips fame ..... not sure I agree with all the sentiments, but I now have an Island named after my boat....... Libby : The race as I saw it: Skippy started off with a crew breakky at the marina.. getting us all in the mood... It was a kite start... Yeee ha!!! Shuttle, Frassled, Mustang Sally and Quickskips were all racing... The rest is a bit of a blurr... down out around... down out around finish! (we were gearing up for another loop) The highlights... the great gentle breeze from the North, the sun, Frassled sailing a great race until their kite mysteriously did not appear ( seems they went trawling with it... at the BBQ afterwards they reported holes.. but had not been game to have a proper look!) .... Mustang Sally really looked the goods... She had a cast of thousands aboard and had her NEW KITE.. a flouro yellow/green kite with a prancing Mustang stencilled on...same cut as the old one.. made by Lisa, and given to Al on his 50th birthday by his sailing buddies ( funny it was Als birthday but Sally got the present!!!)... Sarah had also given Sally a present for Als 50th... and has had 'Mustang Sally' signwritten along the floats with the prancing Mustang logo... VERY FLASH!!! The big news of the race was the unusual event of an island appearing in Westernport during the race... Aptly nicknamed SHUTTLE ISLAND, and came about when Tapper and Crew decided to park themselves on the bottom! Unfortunately what was going to be just their little secret between race control and Shuttle was heard by EVERY other boat in the race! Luckily Shuttle did NOT have to wait for high tide to get off as supposed and were released from their sludge when all other multis were back in the marina.... The crew of Shuttle were missing at the After BBQ.... maybe they were too EMBARASSED to turn up??? Last ( but certainly not least!!) there was a roar of excitment as we were coming into the Marina for there, heading out under motor was We3/ Wee3/Wi3/Ve3/Vee3/ Syzergy.. with JAMES BROWN at the helm, and a grin from ear to ear...He was back on the water and with a little luck will be sailing in the next race... Bring it on... Oh yeah... sorry I think the results were... Quickskips / Mustang Sally/ Frassled/ Shuttle Island... but you will have to get that confirmed elsewhere as I'm not so big on detail!!.. All I know is we were first over the line so we could go and take photos of Mustang Sally's new kite!
