TY Delegates 10 March 2011

The TY’s made up a big part of the fleet for Saturdays club
championship event. It was a race of mixed fortunes with the
weather again making for some interesting sailing conditions.
Who would have thought at the start, in rain and 15- 20 knots
of southerly, that the wind would die to nearly nothing by the
second mark rounding and then swing to the East. All credit
to our duty crew who set the first work up nicely for the first
work. Frou Frou had some gear failure at the start so we
didn’t get to have a good look at how the rest of the fleet
were doing for the first half of the work. I was told that Grey
Fox, with gun crew Amy and Tony Zara aboard, looked very
impressive before conditions turned, and so did Serenity and
Momentum with only 2 crew on each boat. Frou Frou also
had a secret weapon, Paul Leaudais, who picked the wind
shifts and was the reason for us making good choices and
going the right way on the day.
Final results on CBH were Frou Frou first, Rosstered Off
second, Nirvana 7 third, Momentum fourth, Serenity fifth and
Grey Fox sixth.

Marley Point Race.
Our best wishes go to the crews of Rosstered Off and
Serenity who will be our Port Kembla Sailing Club
representatives for this year’s Marley Point race. I hope the
weather is kind; you all do well and get there and back safely.
We will be thinking of you on our way up and down Lake
Illawarra on Saturday and in our warm beds on Saturday
night.

I received very positive feedback about this Saturdays Handicap start race with requests to schedule in more next season. I recognise there is room for some fine tuning of the starting times and would be very interested in any other comments regarding the handicap start format or any other suggested improvements for next season’s sailing schedule. As long as suggestions do not impose an extra bourdon on duty crews and other schedule commitments I am sure we could incorporate them into an interesting and varied sailing program for 2011 - 2012. 
Now to Saturdays race. It appears Grey Fox has been holding back for most of the season (or maybe it is the addition of extra gun crew member) that saw her lead us from the start only to be passed by Rosstered Off and Momentum on the final finishing leg. They looked poised and comfortable around the course making the rest of the fleet work hard to catch up. Serenity also proved challenge for the faster boats to catch. She experimented with some very tight spinnaker sets that, on occasions, were masterfully pulled off, demonstrating that it is worth taking a few risks some times. It’s a steep learning curve for the new crew aboard Serenity and I do admire Wayne for providing the opportunity, developing new people, and, in the process expanding club membership. The seasoned crew aboard Momentum seem also to be getting the hang of their new rig with a noticeable improvement in upwind speed and pointing ability demonstrated in Saturday’s race.
First across the line in masterful fashion was Rosstered off followed very closely by Momentum and Grey Fox with a gap then to Frou Frou and Serenity.
