The last club race of the season was well attended with all the Sharpies and 505s on the water - as well as one of the rare appearances of Windandsea (hopefully they can attend more next season). The breeze also played its part well with a nice southerly which was pretty consistent in strength but kept everyone on their toes with some significant shifts during the race.
From the start, The Ribwich was showing great speed along with Space Monkeys. After crossing tacks half way up the work The Ribwich went right which turned out to be a great decision - they led around the top mark by a significant margin followed by Pleasure & Pain who had also gone right. Space Monkeys was next with the others all pretty close together. The Ribwich maintained their lead for the next couple of laps with Windandsea closing rapidly. In the Sharpies, Space Monkeys caught Pleasure & Pain and was leading with only a couple of hundred metres to go to the X mark when they capsized on a gybe with Pleasure & Pain taking full advantage. Windandsea was first across the line followed by The Ribwich, Pleasure & Pain, Truck, Blur, Blowflies and Mainiac.
Pointscore results were The Ribwich first, Mainiac second and Space Monkeys third.
CC results were The Ribwich first, Pleasure & Pain second and Space Monkeys third.
