Winter Series Race 5 13 July 2025![]()
Race 5 … rinse and repeat! So, we are at the back end of the series with one race to go … Race 1 abandoned for both divisions; shortened course for Race 2, 3 and 4 and abandoned for division 1 in race 5.![]()
To say that the wind was less than optimal would be an understatement. With inverted battens at every tack or jibe, San Toy struggled through the fleet chasing division 2 leader Dave West on Ace. From a distance, Ça Va looked to be anchored off Cannae Point, waiting for the rest of the fleet to catch up and eventually got moving as what little breeze there was, was brought down to them. The slop in The Sound was enough for the crew on Cheap Thrills but Barry persisted until the end, being only one of six boats to complete the division 2 course out of the 12 division 2 boats on the water. This brought him up the leader board into second place, only half a point behind Magician V, knocking Stock Car off into third place.![]()
The division 1 fleet persisted, but eventually the retirement call could be heard from a number of boats. Not for San Toy! Just short of Nielson Point AS another attempt to “pop” the battens resulted in a decision to drop the sail; manually “pop” and then re-hoist on the other side. As the crew began to hoist, the announcement over the VHF to abandon division 1 was heard. San Toy claims a moral victory for being first to Nielson … almost.![]()
With 2 abandoned races for division 1, it looks like Jan on Esprit will hold the lead, but Pam and Absolut might still have a tussle into 3rd place while Kia Kaha needs a blinder to topple Esprit.![]()
