2017 ABYC Inter-Club Dinghy Regatta

The ABYC Inter-Club Dinghy Regatta was sailed on Saturday 1 and Sunday 2 April 2017.

We enjoyed two rewarding days of off-shore dinghy sailing as KYC, RYC and ABYC contested our Inter-clubs regatta. Both were light wind days, requiring careful tactics at the start and marks. Thankfully the wind did not fluctuate too much over the sailing periods, so Race Officer Ronnie Baer didn’t give the mark-laying slaves too much work to do. With the Ironman events also happening over this weekend, the cats could not launch from Hobie nor Kings Beaches, so we just had Senior and Junior monohull fleets competing. The Yogi Divaris/Ferdi Holm Fireball team were always way out in the lead over the Lasers, Sonnets and Fins. But it all came down to handicaps and consistency of finishing places. A big thank you to the race committee, scorers, mark-layers, safety-boat drivers and organisers for putting this event together.
