Beers on the lawn after racing and everyone welcome at the presentations held in the upstairs bar around 6pm

Mark Taylor Windsurfer Class Captain MBSC

Sunday saw another perfect sailing day on the Swan for the first MBSC Club Heat for season 2019/20.

Unseasonal westerly winds delayed the start and caused the race committee to reposition the start line to the vicinity of Como Jetty

11 Windsurfer LT sailors fronted up including 4 first timers starting in a 10-14 gusty knot westerly breeze.

Reigning world champ Tim Gourlay showed the fleet a clean pair of heals and romped away to a convincing and comprehensive win.

Newcomer Peter Monkhouse showed good form and technique to finish second followed by Kelvin Usher and a few seconds further back to yours truly

Another first timer Julian Atkinson was next followed by immediate past Commodore of MBSC Peter Schneider

Next came Clive Swanson then first timer Alastair Mackinnon followed by Richard and another first timer Grant Hymus.

Richard reckons he would have probably finished higher up had he not been tee-boned by a foiling moth.

Another highlight of the day was Snides and Darryl G buzzing the LT fleet while training for the Wind Foiling Aussie Titles

LT Racing is on again at MBSC next Sunday 20 October, briefing at 1pm, racing starts at 2pm.

Hope to see you all there.

All LT Windsurfer sailors welcome for racing and a beer after at the presentation in the upstairs bar
