Sunday Keelboat Report – 8th December 2024
By Sam James

Two exciting short-course races were held in Blackwell Reach, with gusty winds reaching 30 knots, creating thrilling conditions.

Division 2:

Race 1: Jolly Roger took 1st place and was the fastest.
Race 2: Jack claimed the fastest time, but Jolly Roger secured another 1st place.

Division 3:
Howzat dominated, winning both races ahead of Double Vision.
Kudos to the support boat, expertly skippered by Al Greenly, for rescuing Double Vision from sandbanks in tough conditions.

Division 4:
Space Eagle, skippered by Paul Chubb, won 1st and Fastest in Race 1.
Ninja, with extra crew member Joel onboard, triumphed in Race 2, taking 1st and Fastest.

It was an exhilarating afternoon, with great performances from all crews despite the challenging conditions.

22/10/2024

On Sunday, October 20th, five brave skippers and their crews faced some wild conditions for Short Courses 3 & 4! With gusty winds over 20 knots, rain squalls, and visibility dropping to just 50 meters at times, it was a challenging day on the water. 🌧️

🏆 Division 4: Greg Simpson and the Ninja crew took the flag in both races.
🏆 Division 3: Double Vision with Tony Watkins and crew dominated, winning both races.
🏆 Division 2: Jolly Roger, skippered by Brian Rogers, claimed 1st and Fastest in both races.
🏆 Division 1: Bruce Wilkinson and crew raced down the Reach with the only spinnaker of the day!

Big thanks to the PRO, support team, and everyone who made it a thrilling day. Well done to all! 👏

⛵ First Pursuit Race of the Year Recap! ⛵

What a fantastic day on the water with light wind sailing conditions and eight boats in action for our First Pursuit Race of the year! For those new to pursuit races: each boat starts at a staggered time, with the faster boats starting later to keep things competitive. A countdown clock by the Start Tower got us going at 2:00 pm!

Race Highlights: 🏆 Turkish Delight took 1st place with Bruce Wilkinson at the helm, despite a broken jib halyard—fixed mid-race! 🌊 Stormrider, skippered by Luke Rees, finished a close 2nd. ⛵ Division 2: Jack (Tony Guard) crossed ahead of Quickstep (Trevor Read). ⛵ Division 3: Solo sail by Howzat with W***y Hines. ⛵ Division 4: Big win for Ninja with Paul Chubb, Graeme, and crew Gavin!

A special thanks to Lyn Greenly, Carol James, and Keelboat Captain Greg Simpson in the Tower, with Al Greenly and Sam James on Support 1.

It was an amazing day filled with dolphins, shifting winds, and some outstanding sailing! 🐬 Congrats to all the crews! 👏
