hi yeah i had planned to sail some of the regatta as my sister has a house on raymond island but have got this flue wog for almost a week that really makes one feel s–t h—e so i had to abandon plans but will try again next year especially as you guys seem to be in the front run for the next victorian based nat championship but of course that wasnt my reason for visiting i just think the lakes are a real pretty place to sail-peter reid sabre 1555 endorphin

hi peter,

that’s bad luck, it was a great regatta. We had 11 sabres 10 club boats & 1 vistior sail sunday & 10 on monday. Saturday was blown out so we didn’t get to sail bumer 😥 but that’s life.

Sunday was a nice day we had 1 back to back race in the afternoon, it’s was about 12 to 15 knots at times very up & down. The place getters in the 1st race was 1st 1658 F Bancroft Unfinished Business GLYC, 2nd 691 B Maskiell Speed demon GLYC & 3rd was 1521 Frodo T Kirby WLBC. The 2nd race died to about 8 to 10 knots, the place getters where 1521 Frodo T Kirby WLBC, 2nd 554 Rufred D Bacon GLYC & 3rd was 305 Pipit M Jefferis GLYC.

Then on monday we had our round the island race that was meant to be on saturday but was blown out so we sailed it on Monday morning, the wind was about 0 to 4 knots it was crap. We had a time limit of 3 hours that was set on saturday, because it was a afternoon race so we didn’t get all the way around. place getters were 1st 168 Fuss Pot M Simpson GLYC, 2nd 554 Rufred D Bacon GLYC & 3rd was 703 Pocket Maxi R Van Elden GLYC.

The results are on this website under race results easter home.vicnet.net.au/~glyc/ the monday race is not up yet or overall results. so hope to see some more next year

Hi all,

here is some information about the easter regatta

Easter Regatta

The popular Easter Regatta is on again. The program consists of the ‘Round Raymond Island Race’ on Saturday afternoon, a ’30 Nautical Mile’ race on Sunday for CAT5 boats, and a ‘Around the Sticks’ Race on Lake Victoria on Monday afternoon. For off the beach boats unable to compete in the 30NM race, two back-to-back races will be held on Sunday afternoon in Lake Victoria. In addition to the local fleet, a number of boats will be visiting from the Sabre Association, so close and exciting racing should be the order of the day. Visitor fees are $22/day or $55/series.
