Results for March
March 3: Seven sailors competed in probably the worst weed conditions yet encountered on Sandstone Lake. Most had weed entrapment at least once which led to some frustration.
A hot and humid temperature (31.5 degrees C), with E-SE winds varying from 1 to something around 5 knots did not help the score sheet. However, 11 races were completed.

Jock won the monthly total ‘wins medal’ for the second time. This was presented at a barbecue at the lake on the first sailing day of the month – April 7. Well done Jock!
