WEDNESDAY EVENING SERIES, 9^TH JUNE

A pleasant evening on the water followed by a BBQ at the clubhouse with good food

and good company. It’s what the Wednesday Evening Series is all about. There were

seven boats at the start line in a light south easterly with a little more wind visible on the

water down the harbour.

The first mark was the speed buoy, then back to outside start line, a beam reach to the

inside start line buoy and a sharp turn to avoid the dock out towards Second sister before

returning to the finish line. The energetic hoisted spinnakers for the first short downwind

leg that was the correct action as the wind went light at this point. On the upwind leg

MINKE and CLASSY LADY saw wind by the spit and staying on the south side of the

course recovered some lost ground.

The run home gave enough wind to require some attention to sail trim but not enough to

disturb the growing appetites for the BBQ.

Scores are time on time.
