4 October 2003

After the week of Nationals it was back to normality with a 36" Shipmate League event on Saturday afternoon.

The wind was light and variable, but enough for some very enjoyable racing.

Martin was still recovering from his defeat by his (ex!!) wife at the recent Nationals, opting to paint the house rather than sail. Stephen Wagner sailed extremely well sailing 97 and was well in contention with a 3rd, 1st, and a 2nd in the first three races, well done. Luke Wagner was battling with his new ex Barry Loubsher boat that the Wagner family acquired after the Nationals in the middle of the fleet. The rest of the fleet had mixed fortunes with Robin taking advantage of the fact that Des was away at the Farmers Brewery Beer Fest finishing 1st on the day.

After 10 Races the results were:

1. Robin McIntosh 17
2. Richard Randall 18
3. Robert Stenner 19
4. Stephen Wagner 26
5. Guy Bompas 35
6. Caroline Stephens 35
7. Luke Wagner 42
8. Neil Young 52
