Wattle Farm was cold and intermittently wet, with a building 10-20 knot SW straight down the lake.
With 18 boats entered, 2 were stood down each race as observers (scoring average points)
The racing started on A+ rig, dropping to A rig (and a solitary B for one race), and then back up to A+ as the wind died towards the end.
There were a raft of different winners throughout the day, but consistency was the key…and Ruebin Muir (#69) managed to build an unassailable lead over Graham Roberts (#104 – TGA) to win the DF65 AKL Champs this year. Lewis Avenell (#73) pulls though in 3rd.

Dragon Master title (best of both DF65 and DF95 champs) goes, of course, to Reubin Muir...well done sir!
Thanks to Ross McClue (associate RO) and John Porter (scorer) for your efforts across the weekend.
