Cup 11
First over the start line was Nathan Pollard’s Aero 5, followed by Brian Pollard and Tash Routley (Bosun), Liam Routley (Laser Radial) and Harriet Cox (Laser 4.7) The winds were quite powerful and gusty north-westerlies. Nathan held his lead up to Middle and from then on. He was followed by the Pollard/Routley Bosun, Liam Routley’s Laser Radial and Harriet Cox’s 4.7. Liam managed to get past Brian/Tash before West.
On the second lap Liam Routley distanced himself from the Pollard/Routley Bosun while Harriet Cox caught them up but could not quite overtake before the start of the 3rd lap. The handicaps gave the Bosun and the Laser Radial exactly equal times!

- Brian Pollard and Natasha Routley (Bosun) & Liam Routley (Laser Radial)

Frostbite 5
The fleet was very close together at the start line. Nathan Pollard’s Aero 5 was only just ahead of Liam Routley’s Laser Radial with BrianPollard/Tash Routley very close behind him and Harriet Cox following on. Nathan was first around Pinkie followed by Brian/Tash, Liam and Harriet. Liam then overtook the Bosun before West and Harriet managed a quick recovery after a capsize. The course had been changed for the second race introducing two gybes at West and Inlet but some found granny tacks were the safer way to go.
