Tom's Triumph

It’s a bitter sweet thing to be beaten by a 70yr old semi retiree. Pre race they seem to have all the time in the world (they do- they’re retired), not overly concerned about too much and more intent on giving up every detail of their last extended holiday. Yet still, I called out across the water and congratulated Tom Dalton on winning the first race of the afternoon. It wasn’t an easy race and Tom had won it convincingly. The wind was a temperamental South Easterly and was not consistent across the course at times there were gusts across the course which lifted the boats along, then the breeze would drop and crews were left to search for more wind lines on the water.

 

Tom raised his hand to acknowledge my comment then replied along the lines that something will beat class every time. Considering that Tom had led the fleet from the start and it had been a long race, I assumed that Tommy had a fair amount of class to compliment that arse.

 

As we move towards the end of the season, many of the clubs crews have had outstanding recent performances. Ross Kneebone and Ray Muld on their Hobie 16 returned form  the Darren Lowder memorial regatta winning the Hobie 16 fleet, which included defeating World top 20 finalist Nick King. Garry Tuck was the outstanding performer at the Trail Bay regatta, leading the Spinnaker division throughout the weekend and Tim Haffner gave the Manning club boats a 20 minute head start and ran down all the fleet to finish first in the Final Manning race.

 

These results are a great indicator of the quality of sailing that is being maintained in the Forster club. Tom’s result on the weekend show that there are some pretty fast boats out there and some equally good sailors. 

Sunday 10th February

Super Series goes to Braithwaite Team
There was plenty of heavy traffic at the top mark with some of seasons closest racing during Sundays three race super series. As the storm clouds approached the gusting seas breeze reached close to 20 knots the racing became intense and the margins for error minimal. The races were led by the two Taipan crews of Scott Machon/ Bryce Haffner and Mark/ Sophia Braithwaite. These two were relentlessly pursued by the A Class of Fabrice Boone. The A Class was most certainly at its design limit with the gusting winds and choppy lake conditions putting a huge stress in the super light weight boat's carbon mast. The Hobie 16 and NACRA boats maintained a three race battle to the end with the finishing results alternating throughout the series.
It was the Braithwaite Team on AUS283 who were narrow winners over the fast finishing Machon/Haffner Team of AUS163. The Braithwaite team have shown great form since the State titles and now prepare for the National Titles in QLD during the New Year.

Sunday 2nd December

South West Rocks Racing

The weather had been unkind to us all week. The rain had continued for almost a week. Giving us occasional glimpses of blue skies then quickly returning to torrential rain.

There seemed little logic in going to South West Rocks for the weekend and camping in a caravan. The annual North Coast Cat Challenge at the Rocks seemed as though it would be a washout. But we persevered and ominously packed the cards and games along with the optimistic box of sailing gear and a boat in tow.

Arriving at the gaol the rain still taunted us, but only occasionally. By Saturday morning the weather was improving and the tables were dry. The weather began to clear and by lunchtime the sun was out.

Briefing over we hit the water and that was the easy part. The remnants of the week long weather had provided a large and long swell which swung around the breakwall and into the bay. Leaving the shore was easy, then navigating the swell and crashing waves without sticking the rudders into the sand beneath the hulls was tricky. Out in the bay the afternoon turned nasty with a squall from the south east racing across the fleet. 20 knots plus with the swells spray reaching backwards was making the day quite uncomfortable. We decided to head to shore but promptly ran out of wind. Squall over – head to start.

The course was the traditional SWR triangle and windward return then triangle. The top mark was in close to the shore and the bottom mark well down towards the bay buoys. This left the reaching mark somewhere outside the breakers. As the tide dropped the reach became a boat breaking reach through the breaking swell. Occasionally the boats would top the crest of the wave and momentarily be in full flight out of the water. The returning crunch and slap as the hulls hit the water was a grimacing sensation.

Four races back to back in a small fleet of 15 boats was well contested. The results for Bryce and Scott 2nd, 1st, 1st, 1st from four races.

Sunday greeted us with clear skies and again a south easterly. This time the breeze was softer and the swell had certainly diminished over the evening.

Sunday saw the arrival of Mark and Sophia Braithwaite who were already rigging on the beach as the rest of us arrived from our leisurely breakfasts.

Racing began shortly after 10.30 and the breeze was flicking around the course. Large holes appeared in the middle of the course as the wind pulled either side around the gaol. East to north east and then south east inside the bay.

Mark and Sophia certainly led away and Mark was quick across the water pointing as high as the paper tigers. Closely followed by Garry Tuck on his cat rigged Taipan.

Three races were sailed with Mark and Sophia gaining a clean sweep with three 1st places out of three races. Bryce and Scott managing to recover from a third and post two second place finished behind Mark.

Racing will again be at South West Rocks on the 2nd weekend in March for the Darren Lowder Memorial regatta.

CONGRATULATIONS Team Braithwaite 3rd NSW Titles

Results just in and a third place for mark and Annika in the NSW State Titles.
Congratulations

Wildcat report

There is no other sound like it. The bang and jingle of a boat trailer rolling over a hump in the road. Like Santa’s sleigh but out of tune, the sound was unmistakably that of another cat trailer pulling in to the club camping area. I observed this from my slumber and, as my eyes adjusted to luminous dial on my watch face, (I was not long in bed after leaving the welcoming party) I noticed it was 1.30 am. These guys had traveled from Queensland and as the car glided to a stop a cold Bundy and cola was thrust into the drivers hand. This was Wildcat hospitality, above them the skies were clear and the palm trees rustled as the sea breeze blew gently, another smile as the trip had already been worth while.

Saturday morning of the long weekend and it was a perfect day. A morning breeze drifted across the lake. Cats were let out of their trailers and assembled on the shore. There was a bit to do before the first race, rigging would be important, registration an essential and of course catching up with friends and past competitors. With over 80 boats registered for the regatta it was going to be a great event. Rivalry would be intense, the Hobies were in final preparation for their Worlds in Fiji the following week. The Taipans were sizing each other up for their state titles a few weeks away and the 14’ cats were simply maintaining the rage.

The morning breeze dropped off and as briefing was under way the nor’ easter moved in from the sea. Sails gave a flick and crews finished off the last of lunch and hit the water. Two races straight up for the afternoon with a perfect nor easter settling around 12 knots. The 84 boats constituted four divisions with Hobie 16’s constituting an entire division with 26 Hobie 16’s in the line up. Then there was a miscellaneous small cats constituting an amalgamation of Maricats, Hobie 14’s and Paper Tigers. The miscealleous 16 cat fleet made up of A Class and Taipans, finally there was the Big cat fleet which was a combination of F18 Tigers, Capricorns, NACRA’s and the occasional F16.

Sunday saw the sea breeze struggle to get on shore and racing began mid afternoon with a gentle easterly . Thankfully the breeze built with most crews twin trapping. The breeze held and three races were run through the afternoon. It was paradise really, twin trapping in an easterly, warm sun on the back. Sailing back to shore with the sun setting and the beers chilling in the fridge then just drop the sail and relax. With competitors camping right on the lakes edge and the event being fully catered for the decision was whether to stay at your own tent or cruise the sites and catch up with others.

Sunday night was the NRL grand final and with the Great Lakes Sailing Club providing dinner and a huge screen to watch the grand final it was a great evening. Eventually the lights were switched off at 2 am and those remaining headed off to bed and into deep slumber.

The Monday following a grand final is often referred to as Mad Monday, reflecting the behaviour of those who have competed in the previous days events. Well, today was Mad Monday for Wildcat competitors. Sunday’s change had come in early in the morning, the front didn’t come as far north as Forster and the breeze had built to 15knots from the North West. Excellent, stuff and time to hit the water.

The breeze was consistent across the lake but the chop seemed to stand up around the top marks. This familiar but unusual occurrence has led to this part of the lake to be referred to as ‘the washing machine’. Dreaded for its short deep chop, in the 2004 Laser masters regatta sailors often returned with clothes cleaner than ever before. The breeze built and settled in around 18 knots with occasional gusts around 23 knots. This was huge fun for some, but hard work for the A class boats who seemed to want to take off rather than keep flat. The crews worked hard as they tacked towards to top mark. The waves playing havoc with the crews with frequent ankle taps knocking feet from the hulls.

The run down wind was edge of the seat stuff with crews sitting on the back beams as the cats scalded down wind. Steve Brewin’s A Class lost the entire rig as the side stay disintegrated. Soon others were burying the bows deep into the water with some of the leaders capsizing spectacularly. The Taipans hit the water fairly hard whilst the Maricats and paper tigers powered. The look in the eyes of F18 crews seemed remote and distant as though they were driven by evil thoughts. The F18’s felt no pain and were launching the kites as soon as they rounded to top mark. Spectacular flashes as the kites pumped the rigs as they sped downwind. With the boats carrying so much momentum the gybe midway downwind was most spectacular the with crews being extra nimble to ensure that a capsize wasn’t a certainty.

At the last of the boats finished the race the wind had built to an uncomfortable 20 knots and it was decided that that was enough. Six races had been completed and everyone was certain that we’d all had enough. It was time to pack up and head home. Presentation was to follow and the winners recognized for their efforts.

The Wildcat regatta is the stuff of legend. And for over 35 years the regatta has been held on the October Long Weekend. It is part of many family holidays. Such is the Wildcat regatta, that with only the smallest of sponsorship and with advertising which is limited to word of mouth and online forums crews have traveled from QLD, Victoria, Bunbury in WA, the South Coast of NSW and from inland. Olympic qualifier Darren Bundock came here as a kid and was playing on the shore when his family would be out sailing. This weekend Darren was here again playing and catching up with friends and not sailing. As polite as ever he gladly helped out at the presentation and gave the prizes out to the all the divisional places and winners. This was a great weekend and what better way the start the season.

One by one the trailers pulled out of the club and up the hill out of site with the faint jingle trailing off in the distance.
