The final class5 event was run on the weekend. Probably some of the strongest and consistent winds for the year made for some hairy sailing, with yours truly wiping out for everyone's enjoyment. The conditions did not bother the two Ronnies and Megan(fearless Fairy)leaving most of us in there wake. Next weekends club88 meeting is the last for the season. Top places for the day 1st Ronnie aus55 2nd Megan (fearless fairy) aus62 3nd Old Ron aus2 aus230 in some sort of trouble (pictures by rabbitt)

The final racing for the season (club88 handicap) was run on the weekend. The winds where fairly light but some good racing was had by all. We finished sailing a bit earlier than usual so that we could remove everything from the lake and pack all the club equipment away. Everyone bogged in and helped so this was completed quickly. The day was finished of with a barby. Our last event for the year will be the WA open championship to be held on Lake Lefroy at the end of October. I will post the seasons event winners after the Annual general meeting in June Top points on the day. 1st Phil aus30 2nd Baz M aus16 3rd Vic aus230

Photos don't show the whole story though - pushing yachts through the boggy stuff out near the middle. Couldn't pick any surface colour change between hard and soggy, just had to take pot luck. Got unlucky a few times!
