We were greeted this morning by an overcast day with a very grey sea, and a large swell. In spite of that, our team went down to Manly Yacht Club because it was important that we regain our Award for the most boats in the water of any one class. We had our 7 Hansa Dinghies n the water:

This was achieved with each team rigging their own boat, with help from some of our volunteers: David G, David W, Warwick.

The boats were launched and in the water, as the weather worsened, and the decision was made to abandon the race. Back they came to the pontoon, packed away, a nice lunch arranged, and prizes distributed according to a pull out of the hat. Let’s hope for better weather next year.

Thanks so much to Caroline and Jackie for their extremely hard work in organising the right number of people and boats to be out on the water.
