Held at Wattle Farm Saturday 5th July & Sunday 7th July 2025
Race Officer Report
DF65s were first up on Saturday with 11 entries and light North Westerly winds.
Racing was across the carpark end of the pond in 2 to 5 knots and a couple of light showers.
The course was set with inside out gates at both the top and bottom with the finish back at the top gate to extend the final windward beat.
Seven races were completed before stopping for a lunch break.After lunch the wind had shifted with a bit of a southwesterly in the mix which allowed us to move the course to sail off the causeway side of the pond and stretch the course out a bit.
A further 9 races were completed in the afternoon.Congratulations to our medal winners – Trevor Bamforth 1st, Grant Lane 2nd and Nigel Armitage (Tauranga) 3rd.
Thank you to John Porter (Result recorder) and Johnathon Tough for mark boat duties between races – that kept him busy!
DF95s had their turn on Sunday with 18 entries.
The wind was exactly opposite to Saturday with a South Easterly which remained fairly consistent at 4 to 8 knots all day.
This wind direction again meant that we had to race across the carpark end of the pond using the same format as Saturdays DF65 racing with gates at both the top and bottom of the course and finishing back at the top gate.
We raced as 1 fleet with 2 skippers standing down as observers for each race.
The starts were keenly contested and with 16 boats on the line we did have a couple of General Recalls and a few startline penalties.
We completed 17 races with consistent wind all day and no rain.
Unfortunately the Southerly didn’t come in to let us move down the pond but still a great day’s racing.
Congratulations to Paul Pearson (GHRYC) 1st, Karl Stachel (GHRYC) 2nd and Paul Goddard (NSRYS) 3rd.
Thank you to Ian Westlake (Scorer and assistant RO) and Eilisa McDonnell (Result recorder).
Dragon Master
The unofficial title of Dragon Master goes to Trevor Bamforth 1st DF65 and 6th DF95.
Congratulations Trevor.
