Cool south east wind today with a bit of sting in its tail was dished up today.

Another small team of sailors assembled.

The wind was very shifty and opportunities were there for passing.

We got some solid bullets coming from over the park and round the trees on the point.

Charles 123 from Papamoa came for a visit and showed good form. Keith 127 had a bit of a control issue and Nigel 168 had to deploy Rescue 1.

Keith managed to wrestle his boat to the point for retrieval so Rescue 1 was stood down.

A good rescue exercise in strong wind.

All skippers managed a win and a good afternoon sailing was the general comment.
