Woody Point Yacht Club’s 2023 Putt Putt And Gentlemen’s Launch Regatta - The Races Photos 

In Issue 569 we ran a report on the Woody Point Yacht Club’s 2023 Putt Putt and Gentlemen’s Launch Regatta.


Along with sharing a few insights about the boats taking part and the winners of this year's fun, Marg Fraser-Martin, of Marg's Yacht Photos, shared some great images. Marg has since sent in some action shots from the races - how could we resist a second 'run' ? Who does not love these beautiful wooden boats? 

They're absolute classics and we're lucky to have so many great examples on Pittwater. An absolute feast for the eyes and senses.

Margaret runs as a Profile soon - this lady is another of Sydney's GREAT women photographers, and one of the nicest people you could meet.

The Putt Putt race was won by Hugh Tory with 'Rosie II'

The Gentleman’s Wooden Launch race was won by Barry Haygarth with ‘Big Frank’.
