Cobra Shadow Posted April 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 A great turn out with 23 starters for the titles. Fantastic to see our friends from the southern states have made the journey to compete against the Queenslanders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Shadow Posted April 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 Race 1 in a light Easterly breeze got things off to a good start. Brad Collett lead to the top mark on lap one but was chased down relentlessly by Brian Hooper, Steve Brewin and Dave Loutit. The fist leeward gate then proved decisive with Brewin pushing Collett away from the gate and taking the mark clear ahead. The next lap saw Brewin leading David Merrett to the bottom gate with Collett hot on his stern. The finish saw Brewing maintain the lead to the end with Collett in second and Merrett in third.

Cobra Shadow Posted April 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 The forecast for tomorrow is south-east at 10-15 knots building towards 20 knots in the afternoon. This will make for a change from today's light conditions and we will have to see what this change will do to the fleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Shadow Posted April 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 The forecast has failed to eventuate and conditions have gone to glass. Race 3 was started in light SE but shortly after the start the wind vanished and most of the fleet failed to make it to the top mark in under 30 minutes. The race was abandoned at the second mark much to the disapointment of Lou Zylstra who had managed to drift first around the top mark.
