  A good day’s HC sailing. Top of the B-rig today with some sun as well. It was good to see Godfrey  pop by to see some sailing.   Congratulations to Ed on a very close points series today.   Rod    

  A fresh B-rig Southerly. We are discovering that consistency is key in this style of handicap racing, and Rod was the most consistent today – well done!
