A fantastic afternoon of sailing on Saturday 6 February for the Yabby Lake Couta Boat Race. Two races back to back, with sailors enjoying a wine tasting courtesy of Yabby Lake when they returned to the deck.
The Race Committee did a great job adapting to the changing conditions and basically got the best races that were possible out of the tricky conditions of the day.
Well done Lisa winning two races in Div 1 and to Jessamine, Duchess and Magpie who each had wins in Div 2. There is no process to break a dead heat and Duchess and Magpie share 1.5 points each.
The Race Committee are aware of the importance of accurate to the second timing and this is very good illustration of why they always strive to get the correct time for every boat in the fleet.
