WINTER SERIES RACE 5![]()
The penultimate race for the Manly Yacht Club winter series. A bright sunny day with a west to west south westerly 10-13 knots occasionally gusting to 16-19, and occasionally below the 10-knot mark. Course 2 was the preferred choice of RO Peter Bennell, which meant we had to lay a mark to replace the 40 baskets AS mark that disappeared, never to be seen again!![]()
In division 1, Gecko had a blinder of a race, first across the line and first on handicap followed by San Toy, second across the line, second on handicap and back on form with the starters prize - although 5 seconds is nothing to boast about. Absolut came in third over the line and on handicap, despite sailing part of the race bareheaded - well done. ![]()
Absolut is still in the lead in the series but only 1 point separates them from Gecko in second place - so watch this space!![]()
In division 2, Kia Kaha couldn’t be seen for dust (or maybe that should be spray). Picking all the right shifts, Kia Kaha steamed over the finish line first and was also first on handicap, with Magician V in second and Esprit de Four in third place.![]()
Not all stories were told on the deck afterwards, but I guess “what happens on the water, stays on the water”.![]()
Kia Kaha still leads the series, but it’s not impossible for Plum Crazy to roll them in the last race, or at least hang on to second place from Fast Company, only a point behind.![]()
Be on the deck for race 6 to claim the draw from the barrel - 2 nights accommodation - Altitude “The Lodge - Smiggins”. The series winners will receive a coffee hamper from Seven Miles Coffee Roasters.![]()
