Current Results

30th September 2006

Another glorious day with winds from the south east, “A” rigs were in order, however late in the afternoon the wind increased to where the fleet should have changed down a rig.  As we only had 4 races to go everyone decided to stick with their “A” rigs which made for some interesting antics.  Numbers were down a little today with 8 boats racing.   Today we ran 4 scratch races, 4 handicap races, and another 4 scratch races.  Interesting to see newcomer Nick Fannin start to perform as the wind increased posting 2 fourth placing’s and a fifth in the last race.  This is a huge improvement over recent placings . 

Another previous low order finisher to have a win today was Brian Leydon.    Could it have anything to do with the ‘TS2’ he has recently purchased.  Charmaine Whites ‘Widget’ shows flashes of good speed, just a bit more consistency should see her at the pointy end of the field.  At the front of the fleet were the usual reprobates Brad Johnstone, Alan Walker, and Malcolm and Peter Kampe.  Peters new ‘Ghost’ seems to be getting faster every week, though today’s results don’t seem to show it.  I believe this is a boat with a very big future.

1^st Brad Johnstone                   33 points
