Today was the last sailing day for the 2025/26 Season. Two Club Championship heats sailed to make a total of 12 for the season which triggered the two drops.

A dozen boats signed on for the race. Phil out injured and myself deciding to help him on RO duties. There has been a lot of injured sailors this season with many either having accidents and others just being taken out really.

The conditions were perfect with 10-15kn SE breeze and clear sky with a low tide during racing. Big thanks to Lisa who again helped with RO duties and enabled RSG to be launched.

With Phil Reid in the ropes due to surgery recovery and Iain Cameron MIA, Ian Saunders pounced. He won the first race by a close margin ahead of Tim Docker and Ali Devlin.

In the second race Ian was busted being over the line at the start and had to find a way to get back and start again. This excited the fleet as everyone thought they had a chance. In the end Ian managed to sail through the fleet to bag a 3rd with Geoff Gill winning the race just ahead of Dave Walton who was racing with a busted shoulder, if he had of capsized he’d probably still be out there.

At the end of the day we had crowned a new Club Champion with Ian Saunders winning by a bunch of points. A well deserved victory with the amount of work he puts into the fleet. Dave Walton ended up 2nd overall which is a fantastic effort and one to watch next season.

The reign of Phil Reid has come to an end although if he wasn’t injured who knows he could of taken a fifth title. Gordon was 4th overall so just let that sink in.

The main reason so many spectators tuned up today was to see who would win the Keg Cup. There were a few contenders that had a chance but in the end Gordon Lacey was just too good, an amazing sailor with impeccable tactics and took out the title.

Next Event Is the Presentation Night on May 30th. It will be about 6pm which gives everyone time to get to the Skiff by 7:35 foot the Waratahs v Force game.

Big congratulations to Ian Saunders for being the best in 2025/26 and special mention to Tim Docker for making everything work. To the new people that have joined us I hope you get something out of mucking around in boats on a Sunday arvo.

Autumn Westerly winds arrived early this year and ironically the catch up races we are sailing for currently are due to Winter Westerlies hanging around longer than expected in September and even October.

Ten boats rigged up and started in 15-20kn WSW gusty breeze and Dutchy as RO with the injured Dave Walton and Lisa helping. We managed to complete both races and now gives us 10 heats in the bag with two more scheduled for next weekend.��It looks like we now have completed an offical “Series” with ten races and if we get the 12 there will be two discards - “11.8 When 10 to 12 races are completed in a Series, the 2 worst scores will be discarded.”

With Phil Reid out due to injury and Iain Cameron also out, Ian Saunders saw an opportunity and pounced taking two bullets which has elevated him to leading the Club Championship overall. Al Beasham sailed very well and picked up two 2nd’s with Gianni Watson taking both 3rds as well.

On the all important Pointscore results Gianni Watson picked up yet another win in the series and Phil Eadie also taking home a Pepper Tree after doing the same last time.

The Keg Cup is being led by Ian Saunders going into the last 2 races with both Gordon Lacey & Same Jackson in 2nd & 3rd.

Catering was put on by Hoppo with a fish & scallop fry up and many refreshments and well done on providing that which was a nice gesture.

Next week is the last two races for the season where the Club Champion and Keg Cup will be crowned.
