We had light breeze for Autumn Race 2, East-South-East at around 8 knots but fading to about 4 knots. Luckily the breeze didn’t die completely and all boats made it to the finish line. We had 69 starting but 3 were awarded DNF due to non-compliance.
We still have several crew looking for yachts at the moment. Some have been taken for a casual sail and some have found regular spots, but there are still a few who need to be taken into the fold. If you have room, even for a one-off sail, please contact our Membership Secretary, Chris Gaskell, using the Contact Form or directly on 0432 018 081.
Just a reminder that we must respect the jobs of the Ferry Captains and keep well clear of the ferries. They are under obligations to keep clear of other boats. If they are approaching or leaving the Bay Street public wharf, you must not approach or leave the GFS club pontoon. If you are already berthed at the floating pontoon, you may stay there but must not depart.
We wish to thank our Course Setter, Mark Rhodes, and our Starters, James Curr and Jasmine Curr.
Keep sailing and stay safe!
