Week 3 of the Winter Fun Racing was held on a lovely winter's day, with light winds which moved around a lot. 13 sailors took to the water and there was a noticeable difference in the standards from the first to the last race. Starts were much better, boats were going upwind better and actually sailing throught the finish line... Winner with 47 points was Rory with Max getting 'Sailor of the Day' for great starts and good results considering he is in a "woody". Racing continues on the 27th of June. Cancellations by email and on this Opti Portal...

The committee has decided to lodge a bid for the 2011 Opti Nationals which is a very large and prestigious event that will attract upwards of 250 sailors over Easter 2011. Currently the only other bid is a combined one from Murrays Bay/Torbay and we will be making a bid presentation in the coming months. If successful we will be forming a special Nationals sub-committee as this will be a major undertaking.
