Five skippers again for the afternoon racing. Presented with winds from the WSW of around 5-12kph, eight races were closely contested. With a couple of dreaded tyres that had floated to the surface again that required sinking before the first race, the afternoon was otherwise fairly uneventful. A tied score between Wayne and Ken for 2nd and 3rd with David taking the 1st place overall. If the racing is like this for the rest of the season, it's going to be a very interesting tussle for the final placing.

Eight races today with five skippers presented with WSW winds around 10-15 kph. All races sailed in great spirit and with the exception of Wayne, who still managed to finish 2nd overall, everyone else scored at least one 1st across the line. Again Ken took out the day with Wayne and David taking the minor placings respectively.

Six DF95 skippers for the afternoon's racing where eight races were held with winds WSW around 5-15kph. Unfortunately, one skipper had to depart at the mid racing break. One rescue was needed and to top off the day, two floating tyres emerged which had to be disposed of. Hopefully the appearance of these two tyres aren't a sign of things to come for the lake again as the season progresses.

Five DF95 skippers again for the afternoon. The breeze wasn't as forecasted and those who were able to read the shifts and patches and hold onto them did well over the racing. Unfortunately Brian decided to finish his racing after six races so the podium places were fought between the remaining four skippers. Again Ken has shown his masterful skills with the DF95 and with five 1st places across the line and a worse place of 3rd, which he was able to discard, he finished on 9ts and took 1st place. Wayne and Peter took 2nd and 3rd respectively.

Today we had around 9 knots to sail in and it stayed all day, Wayne didn’t wait for anyone winning the first 2 races, followed by David winning the 3rd & 4th races before the break. Brian took control after the break winning the 5th & 7th race. Ken McKernan still finding his way with the fickly breeze on the course, and nice to see Trevor having a win also. It was a challenge for Ken as he could not get in front of the skilled fleet of skippers, Wayne winning the last race giving Wayne 3 wins for the day could not get him over the line for 1st spot. With Ken hanging on with 2nd place 6 times keeping his score down allowed him 1st on the podium followed Wayne and Brian tieing for 2nd with Wayne getting 2nd on a count back then Brian 3rd.
It was a great day’s sailing guys….

It was great to see Peter George & Terry Priest back sailing again.
With a breeze stronger than forecasted, there was some good racing between Brian David and Ken, Brian consistently coming 3rd in the first 3 races and looking to be 1st in the 4th race was taken out in a gust preventing Brian to tack and to settle for 2nd place.
After the break saw Peter George showing his skill winning the last 3 races, nicely done Peter. Podium was Ken, David and Peter.

Today arriving at the club for our DF95 event it started with sad news that one of our past members Rodney Adams had passed away on Saturday morning 8/2. Before starting our 1st race a moment of silence was held in respect for Rodney who made everyone's day with a smile and a laugh. With 19 knots of wind, plus gusts, boats were diving around but were handled well by their skippers. Fortunately there was no need for the rescue boat to go out. Racing was close all day with Wayne and Ken tied for 1st place and Brian and David tied for 3rd spot. Ken eventually taking 1st on a count-back, Wayne 2nd with David taking 3rd spot on a count back with Brian.
