RA Mess Challenge Cup, Clingan Shield and Fleet Race 18th March
OOD Per F Svendsen
After the powerboats and jetskis ventured to sea in the morning they returned in time to swap motor power for wind power.
There were 7 boats on the water racing plus a catamaran being tested out by new members Claudia & Paul. The wind returned this Sunday to give all sailors a good run out and the two races were hotly contested. The lady helm trophies were sailed for by 3 of the 7 boats with honours going to the new pairing of Nadine & Gail who resoundingly won the RA Mess Challenge Cup. Mini & young Per came through to win the Clingan Shield.

The race entry fee for the Mission to Seamen race will be donated to the Mission so please come & sail & show your support for the Mission. This single fleet race is open to all. Boat & personal handicap apply and single handed sailing is allowed
Gabriel Gunesekere from the Kingsbury Hotel will be there to present the Intercontinental Trophy to the winner of this BOD trophy. Minimum combined PHC of helm and crew is 9. It is two races where helm & crew swap positions in the second race so helm in the first race is crew in the second.
