Monohull race report 21 Jan 2012

21/1/2012

0 Comments

 
An hour before the start there was no wind at all. With about half an hour to go a light easterly appeared so the starters headed off to set the course. 

A good fleet of monohulls turned out. Road Kill didn't attend as a tree had fallen on their car - thats the best excuse this season !! Frank and Nick did duty standing in for one of the cat sailors - thanks guys !

It was also good to see out new national champion, Dante, back sailing at the club - he had his new 420 on the water. 

The usual suspects headed off in the lead from the start with Mr Freeze, Mainiac and Blowflies crossing each other on the first work. Mainiac led round the first mark closely followed by Mr Freeze, Blowflies, Windandsea and Skulker. As seems usual Mr Freeze overtook Mainiac on the reach and had a small lead at the end of the first lap. Blowflies had tried a different approach on the downwind legs and lots a lot of ground. Windandsea closed the gap. Skulker wasn't far behind. 

On the next work the breeze changed significantly giving Mr Freeze a huge lead with the rest of the fleet playing catchup for the rest of the race. In the end, Windandsea used their great downwind performance to get line honours in the long course, followed by Mr Freeze and Mainiac. Yardstick results had Mr Freeze first followed by Mainiac and Windandsea. 

Skulker kept a good speed in the light conditions although Dante on his new boat currently called "TBA" was gaining on the runs. Skulker took line honours on the short course followed by TBA and Wilful Intent who were having a few problems in the light, shifty conditions. Yardstick results were the same. 

Overall pointscore results had Mr Freeze first, Windandsea second and Mainiac third. 

Hopefully we don't get too many days like this one for the rest of the season !

Dante and Lachlan have convincingly won the Flying Ant championships. They score 6 first places in the nine heats !! The next four boats were from WA.

I am sure we will hear a lot more back at the club from Dino and Dante !!

Well done guys - a great effort !!

Sharpie Nationals 2011/2012 Wrap Up

6/1/2012

The Sharpie nationals are over for another year. Highlight of the series was Road Kill (Nicholas, Alex and Frank Marzano) taking out the Junior Championship - well done guys ! This was in a series where they broke TWO masts.

Mr Freeze and Mainiac had mixed results with Mr Freeze ending up 11th and Mainiac 15th in a VERY competitive fleet. Both managed good top ten results showing that on a good day we have the spped to mix it at the top. In other results Mr Freeze was 3rd Country boat - Mainiac 5th. Mainiac also ended up third in the over 50 category. 

Blur won the championship - and hot goss is that it will be shortly sailing from PKSC !! 

RQYS is a fantastic place to sail from - must be one of the best set up sailing venues in the world.

Next season championship will be sailed from BSYC in South Australia. Expectations are for a fleet of over 80 - they are trying for a record of 100 boats !!

Day 2 at the titles was quite windy with large chop. PKSC boats did OK but didn't set the world on fire !! Mr Freeze is just ahead of Mainiac, Proud Aussie and Road Kill.
