Sprints in the Winter Sunshine

After a very gloomy couple of weeks, the sun was shining and a moderate south westerly made for some very enjoyable sailing on Saturday.  Races 5 and 6 of the Winter Sprint Series were sailed from Spring Cove toward Middle Head.

Tracy Richardson and the crew of Artemis were fast out of the blocks, winning the first race from Stormaway (Jack Stening & Colin Gunn) and Dania (Peter Charteris).  With Artemis retiring from the second race with a broken backstay, another Adams 10 rose to the challenge.  Brian Lees’ Contentious took the win – again from Stormaway and Dania.  Many thanks to RO Toby Gursanscky and the Race Management Team for some great racing.

Next Saturday, July 16, is the Christmas in July Feature Race.  Let the Sailing Office know if you are sailing (spinnaker or non-spinnaker) and dig out your Santa Hat and Christmas Costume.
