Thanks to all of the competitors who travelled to PBSC’s “Bullets” regatta and braved the forecast for some great sailing. Great to see the line-up of boats on Sand Point beach. Saturday was cloudy (but no rain) with some good breeze - it was a thinking persons day with moderate but shifting breeze.
Nice to catch-up for a feed at the RSL (Club Palm Beach) Sat evening.
Sunday was wet but there was a great breeze and few “bullets”. Everyone has a favourite moment, mine was Upu - fresh from heart surgery in his 1st regatta and on a 14 - finishing about 5 seconds in front of Noah - the youngest out there - in a solid 20+ knot downwind finish.
We had some exceptional support with David, Dick and Ainslie on the Power Cat start boat, Richard and Steve on the chase boat, Richards background work with Council and the RSL, Dave Fisher - for everything sailing - Tracey our beach captain, Michael our boat ramp/parking and Regina and Jon for our rolls and Haley for the trophies and Ainslie of course - the best PRO ever!
Until next time - hopefully the “bullets” will be from a solid nor-easter - clear skies and hot.
