New sailing season kick off

What was already shaping up to be a pretty, scenic day on Jervis Bay with light E/ENE winds was further enhanced by the presence of 10 very colourful Hobie 16's (well except for 'upyazall' maybe, who's younger years could well be some time ago) and 2 Hobie 18's. Nice to see Tait and Donna on their crisp and bright looking 16, and welcome to Darryl and Sue as new members to VSC . Good to see them and also Jeremy rock up on their 18's, hopefully that sets a trend, as there'll be plenty of competition of the 16's this season in light of the upcoming Worlds.

The added value of Race Officer of the day Egbert had perhaps less to do with setting a proper race course, but more with keeping the !#$%tards honest, as on several occasions teams squeezed across the start line early.

See the race results for more details; the performance of youth team Wil & Patrick is noteworthy, they consistently sailed fast in all races, well done guys! And if Jeremy and Rana manage to sail as well down wind as they did upwind, I can see some trophies change hands at the season's conclusion.
