WMRMYC Inc Scratch Summer Series Round 6, Manly - 8th April 2018
ROUND 6 OF THE SCRATCH SUMMER SERIES kicked off with a light Southerly, Peter wisely kept the yachts ashore until the expected Sou Easter came through.
Racing got away just before 10 with a mix of south and Sou east on the course making it hard for all to race fairly, luckily Hughie decided to lock in the Sou Easter. Wind was still shifty and light all the way up until drinks were called and the results were a mix bag. The 2nd half to the day was a lot more consistent and results showed. Special mention must go to Peter for trying water ballast in his new Yacht and as the results showed I think he will remove the ballast for the next round of racing. Another mention also must go to Russel, Tony and John G for keeping all the on lockers entertained with plenty of argy bargy. All skippers must be thanked for a well sailed day with minimal infringements. Also a big thanks to John, Bruce, Peter and Scott for all the work you guys put in to get us sailing each week.
