DF65 Racing Results 8-Oct'25

8 skippers arrived just in time (due to adverse traffic conditions) to compete in the 6th round of the Sep-Oct series. Chris set a course of P/R, Y, P, R, Y, P, 3/A but after the first race this was changed to 3/A, R, A, P, R, 3/A to save having to sail back to the start line. The wind was pleasantly sailable, but only for the last heat. For the rest of the time it was variable and if there had been any smoke it would have been rising vertically. We did manage 7 heats (just) and so earned 1 discard. JB was sailing no. 44 and CW changed boats at the coffee break and both managed podium places (1st and 2nd respectively) with IW 3rd.

Well done to all for staying the course!

Best wishes,

Bruce

DF65 Racing Results 1-Oct'25

I thank Roger for providing the details of today's racing:

Seven skippers disregarded the forecast calm conditions to assemble at the lake to be greeted by……calm conditions. A simple out and back course was set from a start/finish line formed by 3 and a laid mark inshore near the jetty. The first four races were mostly torturous drifts and the coffee break was roundly welcomed. A bit of breeze filled in from SSE during the break so the course was extended to take in the yellow mark and a second lap. This led to some good racing with only the occasional calm raft-up.

Congratulations to the podium sitters:

1st - J Bennett (13)

2nd - C Wilson (14)

3rd - I White (14)

Best wishes,

Bruce
