The OYC White Island Race was held on Saturday 11 December.
A grey day with occasional rain and a South Westerly blowing giving choppy conditions.
A field of 5 yachts entered with three completing the course.
Line honours go to HANSEL (Dave Hart); Second over the line was PIPSQUEAK (Mike Dewar) & third was HUIA (Gary Jackson)

It was a grey day with a hint of drizzle but there was a nice breeze to assist the 8 competitors in this annual race. Thanks to the race organiser, Warren, the course laying team & starters, Pete & Stewie, the time keeper, Michael, the rescue boat crew, Jevon & Georgie,  and to Barry for arranging the BBQ and manning the bar.

Despite a delayed start due to a tanker departure at our start time, the race held some interesting incidents caused by winds gusting up to twice the wind speed. Conditions were changeable throughout which produced some interesting results.
Thanks to the organiser, the start & course laying crew, the time keeper and to Barry who manned the bar and fed the hunger pangs afterwards.

A great Opening Day despite the overcast cloud and light to nothing wind. This didn’t detract from the competition however with a great turn out of 24 yachts running in the three divisions.
A special thanks to the organisers, the committee & support boat crews and the team back at the clubhouse preparing the after race BBQ & refreshments.
Overall an inspiring start to the season.
