A fantastic harbour in great conditions meant a great race. The weather while overcast was not cold. But then neither was it warm.
The downwind start brought the fleet together for the only time in the race with all the boats crossing the line within a few minutes. There after they were all spread across the harbour.
Course was Evans Bay, Somes Island, Ward Island and back to Evans Bay.

It was a great day out sailing, and even our flotilla of safety boats managed to have a little fun.
