Wed night sailing results! Race 3.

A blustery Northwester, and a pending storm faced sailors tonight. Our intrepid Commodore chased all the undecided out onto the water and a decent race was held! Some compensation for me being in Vanderbiljpark (as I write this bit!!) Later the rain pelted down and boosted bar sales immensely. Nice to see Enigma routinely in the water again, and a good tussle coming up between the L26s. Megafreight took fist place on handicap -  well done to them! Full results here!

Thursday Sailing last week

Hout Bay residents have been treated to a fine display of boats in recent weeks, with great turnouts at the Opening Cruise, The Club Champs, and now the Summer Series. This pic was taken last Thursday evening - we had great conditions - flat water, 15kts steady South Easter, a warm pleasant evening, and eight boats on the water after postponing from Wednesday!  Irish Mist, with Peter Roelofze at the helm, took first place. Series results here.

Thanks to Roy McBride for the great pic!

Whats on at your Club!!

Or rather - what isn't!! Just when we thought Jeremy and team might run out of steam they changed gear it seems!! Look at this lot!

Please support your Junior sailors - they are busting a gut to put HBYC on the map - and already are making waves in the top of the fleet, to a point where handicaps are being argued again! Hmm?
• Friday evening sees the return of "The Crunch" - the live band featuring legendary Rock Singer Paul Koning and his rew. Security arrangements in place to keep screaming fans at bay, so come along and enjoy a free-entry, fun-filled evening and dance the night away!!

See you at the Club - its the place to be!
