Passion at Port Stephens Regatta – photo published by kind permission of Craig Greenhill of Saltwaterimages
Dave and Elaine Edmiston’s Jeanneau 37 Passion from GFS finished 6th in the Performance Cruising Division of the recent Sail Port Stephens Regatta. Despite improvements to the boat in the past season Dave was unable to repeat last year’s performance which saw Passion win the regatta. It was all very close with Passion despite finishing 6th being just two points off first place.
The results of the Regatta and the follow-up Commodore’s Cup event are here.
The increasingly popular series saw some close racing and testing conditions. On the first day the off shore race around  three islands (Cabbage Tree, Little and Boondelbah Is.) was an endurance classic only finishing in under the five hour limit when the race committee shortened the course.
