Light Winds and Close Finishes

Although Sunday was a near perfect beach day, a little more breeze was on order from most Vincentia sailors. 3 races were held in a light easterly under the shadow of a sea fog that rolled into the bay. Egbert made the most of the light conditions on the Tiapan in the first race taking line honours sharing it with Di on corrected times. The second race was shortened to 1 lap and John proudly took line honours and 1st place on corrected times on his 16. Some of the closest finishes all season were in race 2 with 1 second splitting Egbert and Di and also Quinny and Gilby and only 5 minutes across the 10 boat fleet. After lunch 3, a marathon race had many skippers leave their crews on the beach to sail single handed, with Quinny taking the flag with Will and Pat winning on corrected times.

Good luck to team Vincentia who will travel to Wangi this coming weekend to compete in the NSW Hobie State Titles, safe travels.
