LDYC hosted some 60 odd boats for Northvaal Keeler Provincials for some 7 keelboat classes in ultra-light conditions. Some of the KZN crews who brought home gold and silver were:

Hunter: Odens Wrath - Tony Cockrill & Andrew Walford
L26: Philanderer - Rick Parker, Warwick Stevens, Dean Ellens, Mike Drake & Chris Rudham
J22: Cartoon Deckwork - Harry Ellens, Mike Surgeson & Mary Hassel

There was no sailing on Friday due to lack of wind. Three races were eventually sailed on Saturday and another three on Sunday with all races being sailed in very light 2-5 knot conditions - real puff hunting stuff.

The Hunters (+/-12 boats) were convincingly won by Oden's Wrath (Tony Cockrill) with a string of 1st places, 1 second and 1 retire (after winning). Well sailed Tony and Andrew.

The L26 fleet had racing very closely contested with the overall lead changing regularly and only 5 point spread between the first four boats. Prize giving was delayed due a protest (Mischief against Eliminator) which if it had been successful would have seen Glen Marshall in 2nd place. The first four boats in the L26 Fleet (9 boats) were:

1st Philanderer - Richard Parker
2nd Eliminator - Herbie Karolius
3rd B2G2 - Henry Paine
4th Mischief - Glen Marshall
The J22's regrettably only has 4 boats due apparently to the TYC Club Regatta taking place at Hartebeespoort where the majority of the fleet reside. The first two boats were:

Graham & Paul Wilcox
Cartoon Deckwork - Harry Ellens
LDYC were most welcoming and the crews enjoyed and good party with the most of the KZN crews clustered close to the fire in the pub until late at night. No red wine was available on Saturday night an that might give you some idea of the quantity that the Banana boys despatched on Friday!
