Bribie Radio Controlled Yachts Radio sailing wrap up for March 2024 Dragon Force Model 65 (DF65) Racing

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.

March 10: Four intrepid sailors braved the horrid conditions at the lake this afternoon. Moderate to severe winds and squally rain saw the meet abandoned after only four races.

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! 

 

Everyone is welcome to come and have a look at the sailing on a Thursday (informal racing) or Sunday afternoon at 1pm. We also have a Facebook page open to all - Bribie Radio Controlled Yachts. 

 

The sailing group has been invited to mount a static display at the Classic Boats Regatta on Sunday May 26 at Sylvan Beach. Come along and enjoy the day. There will be lots to see and do.  


Until next month. Barry - Recording Officer
