We have all been hoping for a good northeaster and we certainly got it on Saturday with gusts to around 25 knots. The action started just before the delayed start got under way when Space Monkeys lost their forestay - not too much damage luckily with the states on next week.
As seems usual in this type of breeze, Truck led from start to finish. Blur and The Ribwich had a good battle for second place during the first lap but were overtaken by the ever improving Pleasure & Pain team who ended up a clear second. Mainiac was initially just behind this battle but struggled a little with the new crew combination and had a couple of capsizes which put them back a bit. Blowflies recovered from an early capsize.. Prawn Stars sailed consistently and got round the course OK.
All together it was a good day on the water with Truck, Pleasure & Pain and The Ribwich taking the first three places.
Good luck to all the Sharpies at the states next weekend.
