WINTER YACHT RACING SERIESGale force winds on the `shake-down` day and first scheduled raceday meant the season didn’t get off to a good start, but the nextscheduled race day was a stunner. Sun, flat seas, and 15-20 knotwinds saw 22 yachts out.The races start line is outside Plimmerton Boating <strong>Club</strong> start box,thus all yachts were `milling` around waiting for their start signals.From Plimmerton it was a spectacular sight – sparkling blue sea,sun catching the massive white sails, and near collisions as skippersvied for the best spot to cross the line. With it being such a superbday a lot of people were out walking the `Plimmerton Promenade`,so stopped to watch the action.Action there was too, with the Mark Ellmers (two-handed) fleetbeing recalled as several yachts went across the start line early. Theyhad to go to the back of the queue and provided a great sight whenthe 13 yachts did get to start. Racing was competitive as usual andeveryone returned very happy with the day. It was good to seeseveral new yachts competing. <strong>On</strong>e of `the regulars` never left theberth, engineer Clive worked hard and fixed his fuel pump readyfor the next race. A headsail was raised, and it was upside down!Was Hayden in too much of a hurry to get to work, or were hiscrew to blame?Races three and four, were back-to-back short course races, and heldin dying southerlies. Again there was a big fleet, sixteen, of twohandedyachts, thus the start line was rather crowded. Relling Cuphad six competing and trailer sailers sees two yachts fighting it out.The after race get-together utilises the outdoor area outside theWardroom on fine days. Mulled wine and sausages are enjoyedwhile each race is discussed in detail.VINING SHIPBROKERS,WELLINGTONBuying or selling your boat contact:Valance Dimock, Marine Broker,YACHT AND LAUNCH BROKERS - NZ WIDE SALES AND SERVICE•INSURANCE • VALUATIONS • APPRAISALS• SURVEYS • DELIVERIES • BERTHAGEM: (0274) 463635 W: (04) 478 5976F: (04) 478 5972 E: valanced@xtra.co.nzwww.vinings.co.nz4
