MHYC Racing on September 17

MHYC crews had their work cut out with variable conditions providing lots of challenges on September 17.  Gusty winds, sometimes light and sometimes fresh, shifted between west and north.  Sunshine was interspersed with rain.  

The boats in the Inshore Spring Pointscore for IRC, ORC, PHS and Adams 10 shared a start line with the MC38 fleet contesting their Act 6 and sailed a course circling The Sound and finishing at the club.  Neil Padden's Wailea took the IRC, ORC & PHS honours in Division 12 (combined divisions 1 & 2) while John Crawford's Innamincka won on ORC and Dean Dransfield's Escape claimed PHS in Division 3.  Kim Darling's Lumine Lunae was best of the Adams 10s.

A number of MHYC crew competed in the CYCA Short Offshore Pointscore race yesterday and dealth with similar conditions to the inshore fleets.  Sandy Farquharson helmed Khaleesi to an IRC win in Division 1 and Jack Stening & Colin Gunn reclaimed the Rubber Kellaway Plate for Division 2 on IRC in Stormaway.  Andy Forbes' Georgia Express was third.
