NSW Interclub at Balmoral

Just home from the race.

A sick SE wind over middle head made for a patchy course. 12 foilers and three scows so a reasonale fleet. Dave got recalled so Scott, Andrew, Luka and Ben were up front at the first mark. Dave eventually got past Luka and Scott at different times but at the finish Scott won from fly weight Matt Day, Luka, Dave and Andrew then Alistair in the firat BR.

Most people were happy with their speed but found holes in the wind to explain ther places.
I was happy for half a race and was in front of Andrew (after he swam) when my vang decided to break. After that I sailed a lap with it slack unlil lapped and the pulled the pin to be first back to the beach.

Dave said the last few times he sailed against Scott it has been patchy, but for now Scott has earned the respect as the fastet moth in Sydney.

Much rumour oubout James MacKenzie and his new boat. Every one knew he has the first Mach2 order. So all expectant. He fronted with a 1964 vintage fibreglass scow predating wings, which he picked up for $200 a few weeks back. It did not loook like the renders on Simon's Blog but he did finish the race.
