Last week in midweek twilight sailing, the team aboard Sail A Vie (Darren Knights, Roger Claydon, Lauren Baker and Tony Doolan) were successful.
The event attracted a field of seven yachts in Bancroft Bay in very light winds, one to four knots.
The course chosen was leaving the start mark to starboard, all other marks to port, with a club start to Bell’s Point, return to the club start/finish line.
Conditions deteriorated throughout the race, forcing the retirement of six craft, the crew on board Sail A Vie determinedly finished the race.
