SAILING RESULTS TO DATE
We have now completed 12 races of the new season and to date we have been blessed with some fantastic weather conditions. Sailing numbers have been consistent with approx 15 - 20 boats on the water each Sunday. The Mono fleet continues to outnumber the Cats regularly and there is evidence that some of this growth is linked to recruitments from the Sailing School. In the Mono division Sue Hextell is stamping her authority on the Club Championship and her daughter Bronnie along with Greg Driver are showing consistent improvement. . In the Cat Division Ian Dray on his 16sq is proving hard to beat on VYS whilst Craig Stegman and Russell Shannon are regularly mixing it with the likes of CYC 5.8 legends Pete and Lex. The season is only young and CYC has several heavy air specialists in both divisions just waiting for those northerlies to kick in. We are also seeing new members in both Mono and Cat fleets and we want to welcome these people. We are an approachable group of sailors and encourage all to ask for any tips or help as needed. If mono sailors have any queries please see Gary Horne. Race results and handicap issues can be directed to Graham Merange (who is doing a fantastic job). Thank you to all sailors who have completed your duty as an OOD. To date the program is working extremely well. This coming Sunday is the Life Members Trophy race in association with Jayden Awareness Day. A good northerly is forecast with an incoming tide (perfect conditions) so hope to see you all Sunday. Thanks to all for contributing to the good spirit enjoyed each weekend which makes sailing at CYC a pleasure.
