Boxing Day Racing

boxing_day_2007_0141Boxing Day racing started in very light winds but luckily the breeze filled in from north west enabling the races to be completed.  A fleet of 30 keelboats provided a spectacle for families out for a stroll as they tacked up the harbour.  Race Officer Commodore Melita Biggs finished the race outside of the Clubhouse with the traditional club canon. 

The Squibs had 7 boats competing for the Icebreaker Trophy. The winner was David McCune in Inky Finger.   The Frostbite Trophy for Cruisers was won by Saskia VI with helm Mark Bugler.
