Closing Day and Cross Ditch Race Results – 26 April
Closing Day and the rerun of the Cross Ditch Race on 26 April was a great success for the club. We had an excellent turnout with 12 boats entered and 10 boats making it to the start line, which was very pleasing to see. The weather gave us a little bit of everything, with some good gusts of wind during the race along with a few patches of rain, which helped make for an enjoyable and challenging sail for all competitors.
It was fantastic to see so many members out on the water supporting the event and making the most of the final race day of the season.
Following the race, members gathered back at the clubhouse for a great BBQ and social afternoon. A big thank you goes to Anne and all of the other helpers who assisted with organizing food and the clean up on the day. Your efforts were very much appreciated and helped make the event a real success.
The bar was also open after racing, and it was wonderful to see approximately 35 club members staying on to enjoy a drink, catch up, and share stories from the day on the water. The atmosphere in the clubhouse was excellent and it was a fitting way to celebrate Closing Day together as a club.
Overall, the day was a very successful finish to the sailing season, with strong participation both on and off the water, and a great sense of club spirit throughout the afternoon.
It was summer closing day, but we do have plans for some racing in the winter months and for social sailing on Saturdays. Keep informed through the website
We have a great speaker for our next "thank god its friday event" details coming soon
