Saturday Racing - 16 September 2023
It was a very warm day with light breezes for the first Combined Clubs Inshore Series race of the new season hosted by Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron which counted as Race 2 in the MHYC Inshore Series. The race start was delayed until the breeze settled in the north-east, although it remained shifty and below 10 knots throughout.
Within the Combined Clubs 41 boat fleet, Jack Stening and Colin Gunn’s Stormaway excelled in Division 2, taking the win on ORC and IRC. Brian Lees’ Contentious placed 2nd in Division 2 on ORC, as did Ian Box’s Toy Box 2 in Division 1 on IRC. Marc Tromp’s Waterborne Again claimed the Division 3 win on PHS.
In the MHYC Pointscore for Division 1, Toy Box 2 was first on ORC, IRC & PHS, Kukukerchu (David Ross) scored 2-2-3 and Khaleesi (Rob Aldis) 3-3-2. In Division 2, Stormaway also took the trifecta placing 1-1-1 on ORC, IRC and PHS. Contentious scored 2nd on ORC and 3rd on PHS, while Wailea (Niclas Westling) was 3rd on ORC, 2nd on IRC and 4th on PHS. Division 3 was scored on PHS only, with Waterborne Again the winner from Escape (Dean Dransfield) and Plan B (Brett Churcher).
