Offshore Regatta Ettalong 6 April

A small but enthusiastic fleet sailed in the ofshore regatta from Ettalong on 6th April. We sailed two races in a 5 to 10 knot S to SSW breeze. There were 3 ladies and 3 blokes. The ladies were first second and third and the blokes filled the other positions. First was Jane Humphris with two wins. Jane wins the Offshore Throphy.

Thanks to Bill Bollard for lending his boat for the start and finish. Thanks also to Brian Baker for organising and laying the courses and to Bazza Pownall and Dave Burrows for helping out.
