Major Trophy Winner - 10-yo Timmy, who sailed a Topcat. Hugest congratulations! Presented by WSC's Commodore Andy Holden.
The Topcat goes thru its paces on the sunny Sunday morning.
Saturday morning dawned cold, drizzly, and bleak!
Yes, it really was as gloomy as these pics taken early Saturday morning suggested! People were weighing-up going out or not at this stage.
Lone Laser out amidst the drizzle, early Saturday morning, Lake Wallace.
Although by Saturday afternoon, the rain blew away and spots of sunlight filtered thru the breaking clouds. It wasn't all dark and gloomy!
The two races on Saturday turned out to be tight and closely contested by all c.25 boats participating.
This Regatta also was the 2nd Heat of the Nacra Super Series, which saw eight boats participating.
Sunday morning dawned clear, sunny, albeit with light, variable winds - a totally different days' conditions.
The weed blown onto the shore can be clearly seen at the right.
Discussing to sail or not, or will the wind come in or not? Sunday morning amongst the Nacras.

Stingray "Mystic"
Ash Johnston's Maricat "Nightrider", Sunday morning.
Some people needed to recharge a little bit extra in the Sunday morning sunshine.
You know the wind is non-existent when the steam from the nearby power stations' cooling tower goes straight UP! Early Sunday morning.
