Thanks Snides- and thanks for captaining this great team and thanks to all fellow participants. All of us did well, it was a great event, very exciting and an excellent challenging course. I think the LT sailors expended the most energy in getting around the marathon course. The windfoilers ringing of the bell was much appreciated thanks Daryl and well done on your teams great result. Great pizza provided by the club to satisfy the hunger built over the long course. MBSC is a truly great club and its people put on a magnificient event.
Another brilliant MBSC event, gruelling course in a solid sea breeze was a good test for the Wallys, all starters finished.
After race gourmet pizzas supplied by Larry @ Broadway Pizza and free beer compliments of Darryl's bell ring finished off a great day.
Well done Nick on your runaway win.
Stunning and impressive performances by the windfoilers in elite very company
Sunday Racing on again this week at MBSC 2pm start , Snides, looks like you will get your wish for long awaited light conditions
