Interesting weather!

Round 3 of the NSW Raceboard Series at St George (2/12/17) looked promising early in the day. A strong nor'easter was forecast. But the wind was up and down and from different directions. Rigging choices were harder than normal. Some selected small sails. Others went big.At the start of the first race the wind kicked in at about 25 knots. Some with bigger sails struggled to cross the start line.

Cam Harrison on an 8.6 Overdrive was looking famous. By lap two, the wind had dropped off, causing problems for those who had gone small. James Grunfelder on a 9.5 Severne just managed to pip Cam on the line.

Mass confusion reigned about what the weather was doing. There was a bit of rapid sail-changing after the race with people rushing to make the right choice. Some went bigger, at least one went smaller. In the end none were correct! A massive white out hit the fleet as it was heading out to start race two. Forty knots from the south west. The luckier ones held onto mooring buoys in the driving rain. It took a while to ease, and once it did the race committee got busy rescuing the dinghy sailors who were all upside down across the course area and beyond.The Raceboarders all got themselves back to shore without damage, although Paul Hewitt managed to get belted by a stingray in the shallows as he reached "safety".

See you all at the Nationals. Don't forget to enter while the early-bird discount is still in place. The next round of the NSW Series is 11th Feb at Woollahra.

Raceboard NSW Series 2017-18 #6
Marmong Point Sailing Club
10-11 March 2018


The Raceboards have enjoyed two fun days of sailing on beautiful Lake Macquarie. Eighteen took part.

Day one was light and shifty from the south. Race One had the most breeze and was deemed a planing race, which meant we managed four races in the day.Richie Reynolds started off in good form, winning the first two races. The breeze didn't ever fill in properly, and was shifty and patchy, which was obviously how Cam Harrison likes it as he had two bullets in races three and four. Lissa McMillan gave the boys and herself a shock by leading a full lap in Race Three, only to be overtaken on the second work as she went off looking for the lift from work one which didn't reappear! In an exciting day for her, she also saw a 2m+ shark off the start in Race four, which one of the Formula sailors identified as a hammerhead.

The evening was fairly jovial with everyone traipsing off to dinner at Pippi's at Speers Point. It was a good feed, with great company, varying amounts of drinks depending on the individual, and some dancing! It was a pretty late night for some, which didn't help with the hot, pumpy weather the next day, did it Conor?Day two was very light, with a threat of 5 knots possibly coming from the south. We got in one definitely not planing race, with John Doolan showing off some excellent pumping skills and determination to win race five. We then took a break to see if the wind might do something, like settle and build. It did not. It went north easterly, and there were a few puffs, but it was still hard work around the track. We completed a sixth race, with Cam taking out this one, and we called it a day.

So Cam Harrison took out the event. James Grunfelder was very consistent in inconsistent conditions, with five seconds and a third. Richie Reynolds was third, with two firsts, three fourths and (oh dear) a seventh, which also happened to be behind partner Lissa McMillan for the first time ever. It was pointed out he had made a mistake - teaching her how to windsurf!Thanks to Byron, Neville, Murray and Ian, and everyone else from Marmong Point Sailing Club who helped put on this really enjoyable event.Great to see some locals dust of their Raceboards, which hadn't seen action for a while, to compete. It would be great to see Cohen Winter and Michael Babbage at future events. And excellent to see Mitch Golbach getting out for his first ever Raceboard race!

Looking forward to a big turnout for the final event in the series at Illawarra Yacht Club on Saturday 24th March.

Starboard/Severne NSW Raceboard Series 2017-18Illawarra Yacht Club 24/3/18
It was a fantastic close to the season, with Illawarra Yacht Club hosting the 7th and final round of the Starboard/Severne NSW Raceboard Series.

The series attracted 43 different entrants, with 27 competing at Illawarra, which was a tremendous reaffirmation of the popularity of Raceboarding.The morning was light at shifty from the North West. There were plenty of wrong options for competitors to select, and lots of pumping! But none of this phased reigning champion James Grunfelder, who didn't seem to be able to pick a knock like everyone else, and won both races. Race Officer Nick Nelson then sent the sailors in for a break (champions' lunch of sangers and sauce on bread thanks to Glen Morrell and the IYC team) and to wait for the wind to settle.It shifted a bit more north east and came in to blow 18 to 22 for the three afternoon races.

Again, James Grunfelder showed his consistency in a range of conditions, with three bullets. Cam Harrison kept him honest the whole way, with four 2nds and a 5th. John Doolan was also very consistent, taking out every place between 2 and 5. And Rhys Herbert was never far away (except in race 1 J) with a 3rd, two 4ths and a 5th. Lea Sitja returned from Spain to compete in the morning races, and racked up two 3rds. And Justin Lord took 3rd in the third race before calling it a day. Nathan Clift made a guest appearance after many years away from the sport and was in second place at the first top mark in race two, before slipping back to finish 10th.

Other notable performances included Adam Hampton's 5th, and Greg MacInnes, Tom Plodr and Arnie Shields all racking up a 6th. And special mention to Sarah Price for finishing the last two races with her trusty 7.5 in very testing conditions. And the whole fleet did well getting back to the beach after the final race. As Greg MacInnes said, he didn't realise it was 5 races AND a marathon!Prize giving saw an impressive range of equipment and gear donated by our sponsors Starboard and Severne. Thanks again for their ongoing support.

The overall results were:
James Grunfelder 1st
Cam Harrison 2nd
John Doolan 3rd.

First woman was Lissa McMillan, who came in 9th overall.

A great series done for the season, thanks to the eagle eyes that noted an issue with the tie resolutions on the results for Round 7 at IYC. I have reworked them and the flow on effect to the Series results that has an effect from 8th place down.






See you next season
