Hi Dave,

We race from Breakwater Park on the south side of Wynnum Creek:

www.google.com.au:443/maps?q=-27%C2%B0+26'+10.98%22,+%2B153%C2%B0+10'+28.19%22+(-27.436384,+153.174498)&hl=en&ie=UTF8&ll=-27.436385,153.174494&spn=0.003118,0.0053&sll=-27.436518,153.174317&sspn=0.006237,0.0106&t=f&ecpose=-27.43638505,153.17449422,339.85,0,0,0&z=18

Small fleet but it was good fun. That course worked pretty well in NE-E 10knots as read from the A/P station. Thanks guys.

yep good fun hamish , lets hope we can get more guys out on their light wind gear. good fun tacking upwind and see if you have made the right call

who won ? 11 or 9.5 ?..

Width triumphed over area

Edit:
Actually apparently there is some rule about rounding to port, which Si didn't, so he and Dave are DQ'd and I won - if we really cared about that, which we don't, so I didn't

As Maxwell Smart would have said, "missed the top mark by that much" twice!! Cost me an extra tack and gybe each time - it's amazing how much ground you lose when you tack a couple of seconds too early!

Was a good afternoon, looked fun on the formulas, might have to look for an old raceboard, I wonder if you get more of a workout in those pre planing conditions. It picked up a bit as the storm came closer, so got a few good planing runs in the straps.
