A good turn out of six skippers to race in winds that were generally from the SSW at around 8-18kph. All skippers had at least one win which showed that the handicap system can work at times. With the mid racing break underway, entertainment was provided by a tiger snake taking a swim across the course from the zoo bank area to adjacent the jetty area. An open eye was maintained for the remaining four races of the afternoon as the good breeze ensured that a full card of eight races could be sailed. Again, an enjoyable afternoon.

The afternoon started with five sailors but unfortunately Brian retired after the first race leaving four to sail the remaining races. A reasonable breeze held out with it WSW at 5-18kph. A very good day again by Wayne with six 1st placings which resulted in 1st overall, followed by David and Trevor to complete the minor placings. Racing was all completed in just two hours.

A very good turn out today for the DF65 racing with seven skippers at the lake looking at 10-20km/h breeze from the SSW. The winds held true through the afternoon and eight races were completed by 1500. Sailing was fairly tight and all enjoyed at least one 1st across the line. In the end, Peter prevailed and topped the podium in 1st place overall. A count back had to be used to separate Wayne and David in 2nd and 3rd respectively with another count back to split Trevor in 5th and Mike in 6th. An enjoyable afternoon of fast racing.

Five DF65 skippers ventured to the lake to be fronted with SSW winds blowing around 10-15kph. Some reasonably close and fast sailing took place and eight races were completed just after 1500. Wayne had some nice consistency with four 1st's across the line to ensure he took the top podium place. Following close behind were Brian, David and Peter just one point between them and rounding off the score sheet was Trevor.
