Busy Weekend of Inshore and Offshore Sailing
It was a busy weekend at MHYC with inshore, offshore and regatta racing on October 17 & 18.
The Farr 40 One-Design Trophy Series kicked off for season 2019-2020 at Middle Harbour this weekend with seven boats enjoying close and competitive racing.
Saturday’s offshore races were sailed in the Manly Circle with a fresh north-easterly enabling four good races to be completed. Sunday's weather was a different matter, making hard work for Phil Yeomans and the race management team. A very light and fluky westerly backed all the way to north-east during the day, making for plenty of course changes.
In the end, a full program of eight races were completed. The Victorian boat Nutcracker, owned by Rob Davis but helmed by Ray Roberts and crewed by a local team, came out on top by four points ahead of Double Black (Rob Pitts) and Good Form (Joe deKock).
