In 2024 we have two series of races and a special Pig Regatta.
For the spring and fall series, best 6 out of 10 for each individual series, and best 12 of 20 for the Club Championship. Each series will have a make up day at the end of each series. Each race will have a skippers meeting at 12pm at the Hanna Creek Docks followed by race start at 1pm
Each race will need volunteer(s) to setup the course and run the committee boat/manage the races. For those interested in volunteering there will be impromptu training available at socials. If you are interested in volunteering to help let us know!
Four boats today, and a cold front moving in meant increasing / gusty conditions. I decided today shortly after the first race started to attempt to fly my asymmetrical spinnaker for the first time ever which went as well as you can imagine. I did get it deployed, and doused without breaking anything at least 🙂
I continue to try to figure out the new boat holding up the rear of the group 🙂
A whirlwind in the forecast leading up to the race, but unfortunately not much of that wind made it to Sunday’s start. Four BLSA boats started between 4-5 buy at Hanna Creek no wake, and raced to the first Kent’s Buoy and back. “Wind” had most on a broad reach all the way to the rounding point, then close hauled on the way back. Not a lot of wind and not a lot of tacking.
On the bright side, it was overcast and much cooler than forecast during the race.
