There were many jobs on the Manly Yacht Club working 🐝 list … and quite a few got scrubbed off today! Thank you Barry, Peter Mac, Stewart, Jane, Andrew, Pam, Bruce, Dave Wright, Dave Walton, Phil, David A, Graham, Gianni, Martin, James for today’s effort and morning tea from Maz. A special shout out to Arthur who tackled the kitchen benches, fridges and cupboards surfaces earlier in the week while Barry looked after the backyard. ![]()
A big thank you to you all👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Winter Race 3 - 15 June 2025![]()
The forecast wasn’t good … sub 5 knots from the west turning north. What a surprise that it came from the opposite direction, but still not more than about 5 knots. Transitions and glass outs were the order of the day. Course 1 was the course of choice. We, in Division 1, had the long slog to Nielsen Park AS. Just as the CYCA winter fleet called their race abandoned, a small zephyr, which gradually built, had the 2 divisions on their way to a shortened course. Everyone was off the water by the time the thunder and lightning hit Manly.![]()
Congratulations to Ten Sixty Div1 and Waterhound Div 2 - closest to the start. Well done!![]()
In Division 1 the lead boats were Absolut, Esprit and San Toy, over the line but the handicap results bumped Kia Kaha into 3rd place.![]()
Division 2 saw a tussle for line honours between Kaotic, Peach Teats-Velocity, Stock Car and Magician V just 15 seconds behind but corrected time saw the finish places Stock Car, Kaotic and Peach Teats-Velocity, respectively. Well done to everyone in difficult sailing conditions.![]()
Thank you to our wonderful sponsors Clarity Cru Wine Merchants, Coral Expeditions for the series winners’ prizes awarded at race 6, and Keiser Physiotherapy and Strength Training for the $100 vouchers drawn from the hat. There will be another draw before the end of the series and a grand prize drawn at race 6. Remember to send your representative if you can’t be there, otherwise the prizes will jackpot.![]()
Thank you to the race committee, race directors Pete and Jim, and Tannis, the elf behind the scenes.
