ABW June 2016-1

Me and Dad getting our Hobie cat ready
case the course was also shortened. Fair winds did
indeed prevail and the fleet finished in record time.
First in the Racing Class was Cocobolo followed by
Rags. Myg II was First in the Multi-hull Class,
followed by Tiamat, with Bella Hu in third place. The
Cruising Class was led by Anthea, closely followed
by Kadea and Columbus.
Day 3 saw another shortened course, but the winds
picked up to bring the entire fleet home within 30
minutes of each other.
Hong Kong’s ABC crew in Rags took the honours in
Racing Class with Cocobolo Second and Sandoway
Third. Tiamat and Myg II swapped positions with
Tiamat taking a very convincing First place, and
Bella Hu was again Third in the Multi-hull Class. As
previously mentioned Anthea took First place for
the second day in Cruising Class, followed by Princess
Arietta and Kadea in Third place.
Overall results, somewhat compromised by the lack
of winds on the first day of sailing, saw Tiamat in
First place, with Rags Second and Cocobolo Third.
