Three Race Sunday 13th December
A good fleet of five boats headed out for a fine afternoon of racing.
As the clock counted down to the start it seemed as though the committee end of the start line was the preferred point. As lazy Bones lined up to start he was pushed upon by Slippery When Wet (SWW) and Alan Pursch on the Hobie 16. There was probably not enough rooms as SWW barged in to the line and led the fleet away. Another Toy and Tooth Fairy opted to start further down the line and all were soon away in a freshening southerly.
The fleet headed toward the sand and then tacked to the top mark, here Lazy Bones called an advantage on SWW and mnoved in front. It was lazy Bones at the top mark and leading the fleet well. Followed by SWW and the Tooth Fairy then Another Toy and Al' and Helen Pursch.
The run down saw the lead challenged but it was Lazy Bones again ahead at the bottom mark. As the lead three turned it was a race again to the top mark. Here all three boats were side by side as the crews worked hard to extract as much speed as possible from the boats. At the top mark it was Slipper When Wet, Lazy Bones and Tooth Fairy. Again the run to the bottom mark was close, this time SWW maintaining the lead and rounding the bottom mark to win the race.
As the clock ran down to the start of the second race the wind died. Then, with a minute to go the breeze returned, though this tiem from the SE. A 50 degree shift had turned the tacking course into a single work then run drag race. This race was now all about boat speed. SWW had spotted the wind shift and went to for a port start. Slipper When Wet led comfortably and headed to the top mark. It was now a run down wind, with boat speed the main objective the crews powered up the boats as much as possible and drove the boats deep in the gusts.
Again the work and return runs were fast and after the second lap it was SWW across first followed by the Tooth Fairy, Lazy Bones, Another Toy and Al and Helen.
Race three was a Starboard course with the fleet now rounding the course in the opposite direction. As the fleet now were all at the 'pin' it was an even start and now it was really about boat speed.
At the start both the Taipans SWW and the Tooth Fairy were recalled and had to restart. The allowed Lazy Bones to lead the fleet. Both the Taipans were in pursuit and as they reached the top mark it was SWW ahead of the Tooth Fairy and Lazy Bones following. With in 100m as the boats rounded the safety offset mark it was the Tooth fairy who gybed and led the run to the bottom mark. At the bottom mark SWW went the wrong way and allowed the tooth Fairy the lead, returning and rounding the mark now third behind Lazy Bones the race was truly on to the top mark. The three boats were side by side and going as fast as possible.
At the top mark it was SWW ahead of the tooth Fairy and lazy Bones with Another Toy following close behind. As the boats reached to the bottom mark and as the two Taipans raced each other it was the NACRA Lazt Bones which was closing in on the lead.
Again the boats rounded the bottom mark and worked to the top mark in a three lap race and again the three boats who had dominated the afternoon were again at each other. The final downwind run was again close and finally as the boats rounded the bottom mark it was SWW ahead of Lazy Bones. The tooth Fairy attempted a bold inside rounding at the bottom mark in an attempt to push under and past Lazy Bones. The Tooth Fairy snared the mark and as he untangled the mark from craft Lazy Bones headed for the finishing line.

Saturday 22nd November
As the morning progressed and as the information came of 20+knt breeze up the coast it was planned to get out on the water and get the racing under way before it all became a bit hectic.
The lake was glassy and the breeze a gently drift from the SE, hopefully it would fill in...
On shore it was stifling as the breeze shifted up and down.
The boats hit the water and promptly the wind dropped, it looked promising further out in the lake. The course was set and the wind played tricks. The southerly change that was predicted had stalled over the Hunter and the winds were confused and dropping.
Some didn't even make it to the start, Slippery When Wet returned to shore to repair the rig and when he went back to the race, the wind had dropped.
One race was completed interesting and often frustrating conditions.
Final results (Adjusted):
1st Lazy Bones
2Nd Dripping Sap
3rd Another Toy.
Racing again this weekend the 29Th.
Meeting at 1100 to :
discuss NP management plan presentation day.

Sunday 1st November 2009

Weather looks good. A solid NE and sunshine.
Probably doesn't get any better than this...
See you there.
Well, some days the BOM get it right and Sunday was a gret day. NE breeze at 15knots which blew all afternoon.
Three races for the fleet. The first race saw six boats line up.
The big boats led the way with Lazy Bones (LzB) and Big Lake Snake (BLS) heading the fleet.
It was really a progression with LzB and BLS heading away. Beneath them was Slippery When Wet (SWW)and Dripping Sap, both watching each other closely. Dripping Sap was certainly moving well, and it was good to see Tom back on the water again.
Further back was Another Toy, progressing well, and with a competitive yardstick it was important for the other boats to maintain their lead as Les was hunting them down. Another Toy 1st, followed by Slippery When Wet then Big Lake Snake and Dripping Sap and finally Lazy Bones.
The second race was a two lap race and with teh wind increasing to a consistent 15+ knots, it was a great race. The fleet startd closely and headed to the top mark. By the top mark it was Slipper When Wet, Lazy Bones and Big Lake Snake all chasing each other. At times there were mere centimeters separating Lazy Bones and Slippery When Wet as they sped across to the reaching mark. Down wind it was the Big Lake Snake who seemed to dominate the runs to the bottom mark. Rounding in first place.
Overall it was Big Lake Snake first, followed by Slipper When Wet and then Lazy Bones in third, fourth was Dripping Sap then Another Toy. Adjusted the results were SWW, BLS, AT, DS and LzB.
The third race saw some of the fleet retire and head to shore. The final race was again a two lap dash.Slippery When Wet took the opportunity to eloit the long line and fewer starters and ran down the line, gybed and crossed on port tack. This ensured one fewer tack to the top mark. Immedaitely after the start, BLS tacked and followed SWW to the top mark. From then on it was a procession with SWW holding out both Lazy Bones and the Big Lake Snake to record an outright and handicap win.
