With a steady S-SW breeze at up to 10 kts during the afternoon, four skippers sailed eight races with everyone getting at least one 1st across the line. The number of skippers was down a bit due to holidays and sickness, but those who sailed had an enjoyable time. With consistent sailing and good boat speed, Wayne took the afternoon with five 1st placings, with Peter and Trevor rounding the minor placings on the podium respectively.

A pleasant easterly breeze at 8-10 kts ensured that the six sailors were able to achieve eight races that resulted in some close racing between Wayne and Brian. A fairly even spread across the other skippers saw several others take a 1st place across the line over the afternoon. Good to see Wayne back sailing after a month away from the lake.

With reasonable looking conditions for the afternoon, 10-15kts from the SW, five sailors presented at the lake for the afternoon. Quick racing ensued which saw an unprecedented nine races being held by 3:20pm. It was great to have some consistent breeze for once and some close racing eventuated which resulted in all skippers getting at least one 1st across the line. Not sure how impressed Wayne was with cracking the century (100 sec) for a handicap in several races at the end, but to his credit he still achieved a 2nd across the line for two races.

With a light NE breeze, 5 sailors took to the water with six races being sailed. Only one tyre was snagged but there was more weed than usual. Nice to see Mike christening his new yacht. Overall, a good day with Wayne taking 1st place and a count back needed to split 2nd (Brian) and 3rd (Trevor).

Four DF65 sailors for the day's sailing but only three managed to complete the full card of eight races. Unfortunately Mike suffered an electrical issue that couldn't be resolved which saw him have to forgo the second half of the afternoon. A close tussle ensued between the top two places with both Wayne and Peter scoring three 1st's across the line but Wayne eventually won out. Weather conditions were kind with 10-15 kts blowing from the west which resulted in all races being sailed in quick time.

First race of the season. A pleasant breeze of 5-10kts saw six skippers start and eight races were able to be completed despite some floating tyres present in the lake. A good start for Wayne with Peter and Trevor needing a countback to resolve 2nd and 3rd place.
