Designed in the late 1940’s as an affordable yacht for families looking to enjoy sailing after the harrowing war years, the 22ft long Bluebird remains a popular and affordable little keelboat to this day, with a large contingent berthed in the Williamstown area.
At Skandia Geelong Week nine Bluebird entrants competed in a three race series; eight members of the Hobson’s Bay Yacht Club and one RYCV member.
The Williamstown to Geelong Passage Race results count in the Bluebird Class association’s long course series for the Polly Woodside perpetual trophy, and this year the long race was won by Craig Black and Drambue.
In race two Warwick Norman’s Revel was first over the line and on the final day of racing only one point separated Black, Norman and third-placed Ivan Knight on Paramour.
The final race saw Drambue win over and Paramour which gave the Drambue the overall win in the series.
