The Winning Boat - PUNK!

ISLES OF NEWPORT OPEN IOM REGATTA

8^TH OCTOBER 2006

The Redcliffe City Council has recently approved the NLOMYS Inc use of the Jiburu Canal and adjoining parkland as a permanent sailing venue for our IOM Class of yachts.

To mark this approval an open regatta was held with significant support, both financial and promotional, from the Isles of Newport estate developer PRD Nationwide Land Marketing.

A field of 20 boats representing all major IOM Clubs from Gold Coast to the Sunshine Coast it was to be a hot competition. A decision was made to contest the event in two fleets which proved to be wise with less congestion and incidents and probably less daunting for the less experienced skippers in the fleet.

There was no shortage of breeze, generally from a northerly direction, with solid A rig conditions for the first few races and strong B Rig conditions for the remainder of the day.

Graeme Bird after a slow start settled into the regatta with a strong performance and excellent boat speed with his Brad Gibson designed “Punk” on 20 points was a worthy winner with four firsts and three seconds from the 11 races sailed (2 drops). Consistent Greg Torpy (Cockatoo 2) was second on 26 points from a fast finishing Tom Butler (Crossbred) in third on 31 points only a single point ahead of Josh Torpy (Cockatoo) in 4^th place.

A special thank you to scorer Gil Walker, officials Brian Lever, Warren Mitchell and Ian Gilmour together with the visiting skippers who made our first major event at the new venue a great success.
