This was a fun regatta arranged to give the classic fleet a warm up before the Auckland Classic IOM Champs on Matariki weekend in June.
We had a good turnout of 14 boats covering 2 decades and included Dave Panting from Katikati with his SP2 – the fattest of the Fat Boys.
‘Dirty Dancing’ (Cockatoo2) suffered a breakdown after one race so I become race officer for the day.
Racing was done with a Mark Foy handicap element which set the first 3 finishers back by 15 seconds on the rest of the fleet for the next race.
I think that it gave everyone a chance to compete but ideally in a fleet of 14 we could also handicap those finishing 4th, 5th & 6th for the next race but this would require an assistant RO.
The breeze was 8 to 15 knots from the NE which was much better than the forecast Easterlies.
We had a fun day with 12 races completed by 3.30pm.Congratulations to winner Bill Bradley (Blue Cockatoo) – we will never hear the end of this!
Dave Panting (SP2) 2nd to show that Fatter Boys can fly, and Nigel Sibun (Roy’s Vapour) 3rd.
Thank you everyone for supporting this event.
