The 505s were away at their state titles today but even so we had a good fleet of monos on the water. It was good to see Prawn Stars racing for the first time this season.
The Sharpie fleet had a few crew changed - Glenn sailing forward on mainiac, Amelia on Space Monkeys and Hayden skippering truck with Hayley as sheet hand.
Space Monkeys led from the start and built up a good lead. Spindrift, Garn and Prawn Stars were not far behind the other Sharpies. The lead changed when Space Monkeys couldn't make the bottom mark and then hit it allowing the other boats to catch up. The next lap had very close racing with the four Sharpies very close together. Mainiac led at the top mark - then Pleasure & Pain overtook on the run. On the next work, Truck and Pleasure & Pain went left while Space Monkeys and Mainiac went right. Left turned out to be correct as the breeze shifted for about 10 minutes. Pleasure & Pain went on to win followed by Truck with Mainiac overtaking Space Monkeys on the line.
The short course was keenly contested - Garn had a bit of a lead however Spindrift and Prawn Stars were not far behind. At the finish there was less than a minute separating them.
Two MJs also sailed - hopefully this will continue after their nationals. Emmett and Riley on Red Devils continued their great form leading Dylan and Cormac on Bandit around the course. Red Devils only missed overall line honours by less than a minute.
Pointscore results were Prawn Stars first, Spindrift second and Pleasure & Pain third.
