SSANZ Race 2 - Legless reporting

So no Ice on the marina this year for the SSANZ race two 2016 on Legless. The weather scenarios were analysed to the enth degree and with the un-stable low pressure system in question likely to track right over the course on the day, there was a good chance only the last few hours of the race would be ski-mask endurance rather than competitive sailing.

Bruce Elliott Memorial Single Handed Champs

A brilliant Westerly breeze and clear sky greeted the BBYC Race committee as they setup early Sunday morning for the 2016 iteration of the Mount Gay Rum Young 88 Single Handed Championships – with 11 boats racing for the honours of the Bruce Elliott Memorial Trophy – and the bragging rights that come with it.

ANZAC 250 – Heartlight’s Story

We left Thursday evening in a very light NorEaster that built to 10-12knots as we tacked through the Motuihe Channel. Plenty of bigger boats still around which was encouraging though a long night ahead as we as we headed out to Channel Island in a short chop and about 15 knots. Hoping we’d have a lay through to Cuvier Island went out the window with an Easterly shift through the Colville Channel and an incoming tide but rewarded with a fantastic morning.
