On Saturday 3 races were completed with a 16-25kt southerly testing all the sailors. On Sunday RO Andrew McLachlan AP’ed the fleets ashore until a nice 10-14 knot NE breeze kicked in around 1300. Conditions were then ideal and allowed the first away ILCA 4s to complete 3 races with the 6s and 7s managing 2 races before the 3.30pm time limit.

Mannering Park Amateur Sailing Club is a great little club and did a terrific job running this event for us. The southern end of Lake Macquarie offers great clear, uncongested sailing waters which was much appreciated.
