WEDNESDAY EVENING, 11th August 2004

 

It was a gentle evening on the water. Eight boats were out and the wind was light

from the southeast. Your scribe is still fixing his boat so the start was seen from

ashore. It appeared that the learning curve for the start was a curve in progress for

some.

 

FANDANGO and FINAL DASH were leading the pack in the first leg to Ganges

Shoal but at the leeward mark it was FINAL DASH ahead with FANDANGO and

ELECTRA in close company at the turn. WESTWIND was not far behind and both

CAT DANCER and SHADOW looked good upwind by not so good downwind.

 

At the end of the second circuit FANDANGO and ELECTRA were still fighting it out

and the small crowd at the finish line enjoyed the luffing match between these two

well sailed boats.

 

The wind died before the last boats were home. SHADOW motored for home but

CAT DANCER hung in to the end and recorded a finish time. The corrected results

show how close the racing really was.

 

Results time on time.
