It was a fine blustery day that greeted the fleet for what should have been the first week of the month Garnet Rock course. As the breeze was gusting to 25+ knots it was decided that we should sail the Deception Bay course including Godwin Beach. 10 boats and 36 sailors enjoyed the conditions.…

The second day, WAGS. was nearly a repeat of the first race:  same course, a iittle more wind, which had also backed to NE’ly.  Therefore we decided to start with the asymmetric spinnaker.  That proved to be a good choice of sail.  Kaveinga’s speed increased to 7 kn and more.  The wind was veering and…

Tuesday, Australia Day, dawned with a cloudless sky and just the hint of a breeze.  By the time I had rigged the boat the wind had more or less settled on about 7 kn varying approximately between ESE and ExS.  Our start line was rather busy with yachts from the MBBC and those of the…

A much belated report for the Saturday before last. Our apologies😞 The day presented 15-20 knot NE winds, 20 boats and 70 sailers. About Time started mid field in 10th place. We followed the field towards Reef Point sitting behind Kaveinga heading in towards the reef. Kaveinga suddenly stopped and dropped all her gear, thinking…

RUM RACE! Saturday’s SAG’s was held in ideal conditions with a SE to E breeze of 8 to 12 knots. I was initially going out on my own but at the last minute Allan jumped ship from Utopia to join me. First away was Pura Vida follow up by Moondance 6 minutes later and then…

2020 Boxing Day SAGS report by Onno de Vos Due to the cancellation of the Sydney to Hobart some of our members had been canvassing the idea to organise a club race on the Saturday instead.  After tossing up and down between a scratch race to and back from Pearl Channel buoy or the standard…

Well BOM said we wouldn’t get much breeze and they were right as the attached photo of the actual breeze shows. Note how there was nice breeze before race time and after race time!!!! Any even the race control was pessimistic when ENDORFIN logged on with 4 POB by responding that we wouldn’t do so…

Race report from 28/11/20 By Sundance V . Well, for once the weather report was accurate 10-15 early going to 20 knots during the afternoon. Sundance V starting way down the fleet with what I thought was a mountain to climb, looking at the early starters which appeared to take off leaving the crew on Sundance watching…

G’day sailors Last night was the final race in the Twilight series. Nine boats headed out into a 15 knot north-easterly. Happy days was the first out of thetraps and took a lot of catching before idle time eventually caught her rounding the final mark. The race was hotly contended for the second third and…
