Another Blustery Saturday
Those who braved the blustery Costello pursuit race Saturday enjoyed the 14 nm course immensely. Well done to Cartouche and thanks to the Tower team.
The ILCA’s also had a whale of a time in the fresh conditions, enjoying some wonderful winter sailing.
Go North!
Well done to all RBYC boats and crew currently participating in Airlie Beach Race Week, Including Rampallion (Geoff Adams), Joan Ellen (Jack and Tony Hennessy) and David Williamson on his VxOne. We found some photos on Facebook of David, Joan Ellen and some familiar RBYC faces sailing on Solaire with former RBYC member Gary Davidson (who is now based in Tasmania).
Next will be Hamilton Island Race Week with racing starting on 16 August. RBYC boats include Rampallion, Joan Ellen, Serendipity (Andy Holmes) and Keep on Running (chartered by Gordon Symes). Hope you all have a wonderful time.
