WINTER SERIES
Race 7 of the MIlls Reef Open Series is on this Sunday. With the rainy weather of this week we are looking forward to a good day for sailing.
Start times have been posted.
2 Handed Series Race 4 - results have also been posted. What was forecast to be a mild day turned out to be windy at the start. The first boats away got the benefit of the breeze to get through the entrance and had a fast sail to A beacon. All boats had an easy ride back through the entrance with the outgoing tide easing by that stage. The race was close with most boats finishing within a few minutes of someone else.
