These were sailed in a lightish south-easter with a run-in tide.

Tony Kuhn on Stella won the morning race on yardstick in the catamaran division ahead of Frank O’Rourke and grandson Sam Clifton on Dino, and Rob Barwick on Drift.

Stella also won on handicap ahead of Drift and Dino.

Phil and Blake Lillehagen in Elmo were first on yardstick in the monohulls, followed by Simon Gandy and Jayden in Sailfish, Tony Walker in Deep Purple and Elsa Gandy and Caitlyn in Flying Fish.

Sharon Carney and Jane Cooper in Jupiter followed, then Grady and Alice McNee in Shearwater and Norman Broomhall and Allan Pogonowski in Britannia.

Elmo also took the handicap win ahead of Britannia, Sailfish, Shearwater, Jupiter, Deep Purple, and Flying Fish.

In the longer afternoon race, Frank sailed Dino without his grandson to win on both yardstick and handicap in the catamarans, with Stella second in both scoring methods, and Drift third.

Deep Purple sailed well to take the yardstick win for the monohulls in the afternoon race ahead of Sailfish, Shearwater crewed by Elizabeth McNee, Flying Fish with Alice McNee.

Then came Jupiter and after a very late start after repairing a tiller broken on the start line, Britannia, skippered by Jeff Walsh.

Shearwater beat Deep Purple to the handicap win, and they were followed by Flying Fish, Sailfish, Jupiter, and Britannia.

Next Sunday is race 12 of the spring series starting earlier than usual at 1pm, and Kelly Miller is rostered on duty.
