The fleet was mixed, with a handful of various classes, competing alongside a large number of Scout Cutters and Sunbursts.
The fastest sunburst eventually took the honours, with the breeze varying between 10 and 20 knots.
In the stronger bits, a few sailors managed to capsize, but everyone had a great day out, and looked pretty tired by the end of the second race.

ok, More than a few!
This afternoon saw the start of the Trailer Yacht series at Manukau Yacht and Motorboat Club, which was well attended with 4 Noelex 22s, and several Hartley 16s. I was trimming on one of the Noelexs, so no time for photos, sorry.
The Noelexs proved faster today, with the top three placings on line going to them, followed closely by the top hartleys. In the first race, the first five boats finished within 100m, and the whole fleet within just a few minutes.
The second race was also a Noelex benefit, with the top two boats managing to get a slight jump on the rest, with the other Noelexs just edging out the Hartleys.
Hopefully next time, on June 24, I will be able to sail in both events.
