The season is certainly ending up slowly for the monohull class with a small fleet turning out for the second last race. Mainiac was on duty leaving Pleasure & Pain and Space Monkeys as the only two Sharpies - and Dean tried out his new foiler moth.
There was no wind until just before start time but then a light NE breeze came in allowing a course to be set. At the briefing it was announced that we would trial a windward/return course due to the light winds - seemed to go quite well.
Dean was having fun before the race but the wind dropped a little making it hard to sail the moth. Pleasure & Pain and Space Monkeys had a very close race for the first lap never being more than about three boat lengths apart. This all changed when Pleasure & Pain went right and Space Monkeys went left on the next work - with Space Monkeys pulling out a good lead. This then stayed pretty static through to the end with Space Monkeys taking out line honours and handicap.
Next week is that last race of the season and is a Club Championship for the monohulls. All interest is on who will take out the Sharpie championship with only a point separating Pleasure & Pain and Mainiac.
Results are now updated and available on the website.
