Conditions were Probbably best described as SW, with shifts ont he left side of the bay. lumpy seas.. conditions from around 12 knots with gusts of around 25knots.. This was a pursuit race, we got off the line nice and fast.. and sailed to a laid mark jusst past Moullie Point Light, the seas were lumpy and condtions light at stages giving the benifit to the longer waterline yachts.. Once around the weather mark, we hoisted our kite and made for Woodbridge mark, in the early part of the leg we were able to pick up a few surfs from the swells, but unfortunately we snagged some kelp on the way, which took us some time to clear. The rest of the race was quite mundane with us being chased by the larger boats and us trying to overtake the smaller boats.. In the end we came 10th over the line and third in our class. It was a great race, well attended given the conditions. The boat performed well. Aboard were: Dale, Ian, MArk D, Sarel, Sieger and guest John O Conner.
