Day 5 – Round the Cans to Finish the Regatta

Race 10 started with the AP being hoisted. The Race Officer Bob Penfold decided due to the weather conditions to run a round the cans course.  The start line was fiercely competitive resulting in Farther Bruin being pushed out.

Shifting breeze up the first beat filled in about 7 knots.  Per Elisa established a good lead which she held throughout the race.  Per Elisa was first to round the mark and rounded the windward mark before the last boat rounded the leeward mark.  Quokka was a close second followed by 2 Farr.

Race Committee was determined to run another race but due to the light conditions and the time limit fast approaching the Race Officer made the decision to cancel Race 11. Tonight is the Prize Giving and Half Ton Classics Cup 2025 Dinner, every boat is attending and looking forward to celebrating such a fantastic fun packed regatta.
