Strong winds gusting over 22 kts provided Race Officials the opportunity to set two courses to complete the scheduled six races to conclude the 2015 SCOR Regatta yesterday.
It was a great day sailing with some exciting speeds set by all boats in particular Rum Raider, a Granger Raider. Rum Raider skippered by Novak and Jo Thompson and crewed by their two boys provided a fantastic spectacle as it flew around the course. SCOR/IRC competitors Quest and Hasta La Vista reported clocking some of their best speeds.
Drinks at The Yacht Club afterwards provided plenty of opportunity for competitors to tell their stories, share jokes and advice and sledge their fellow competitors. It was a great wrap up to the week of the 2015 IRC Qld State Titles and SCOR.
