| Tell
Tales 4th February 2006
The day started of with the resumption of the learn
to sail program, and what a lovely day was provided.
Matt and Peter had our intrepid sailors out side the
harbour as soon as the boats were rigged. What a great
sight it provided along with the annual surf club
swim that was on at the same time.
Every body was a little rusty, in particular Russell
Smith and Matt who had trouble rigging a mirror and
a 125.
The afternoon races consisted of a
short course race first, which was just a windward
return . The main race got underway at 2.15 in a light
southerly wind . 10 boats sailing made an impressive
sight , Matt and Gary continued their duel with Pete
and Stewie, the two boats being very close together
for the whole day.
Also close together all day were ”Windswept”
(Ian and Leo ), and “Miss Molly” (Captain
Col and Doug). Miss Molly was in front all day only
to be pipped at the post by Windswept in the last
few metres of the race.
Creditable efforts by “Hell
n high water” and also Craig and Wendy Jenner
in their 420, along with the boys on the big cat.
Keep up the good work boys it will come together soon
enough.
We had a visiting boat and several
members from Colac Yacht Club -no water in the lake
there, so their season has finished.
Sad to see Interlude come in unable
to finish with a sick crewman on board. Peter Deppeler
in Jubilation took the honours in the keel boats.
It was a rather pleasant day with
all boats finishing other than John Marriner and crew
Results:
Yardstick Handicap
1st NYAWB 1st Jubilation
2nd Jubilation 2nd Hypertension
3rd Hypertension 3rd Miss Molly
4th Windswept 4th NYAWB

water.
