2014 - 15 Australian Hobie Cat Nationals - Day 1

2014 - 15 Australian Hobie Cat Nationals - Day 1 Shauna McGee
2014 - 15 Australian Hobie Cat Nationals - Bunbury turned on a beautiful day for the first day of the 2014 Nationals. With plenty of wind initially everyone was keen to get racing. Race office Paul Davis made it clear they plan was to get ¾ races out in one session partly to avoid the shipping movements in the channel – that can be an issue.

Race One

The first race got underway wind in the upper range around 15 -20 Knots. As usual the first start resulted in a general recall. The next start was clean and away we went. The breeze stayed strong but did vary quite bit. Picking the direction and the right way to go was difficult and remained that way throughout the day. The wind stayed strong and the race went a cracking pace. Blew By You (Darren Smith) eventually prevailed and chalked up his first victory followed by Lucas Chatonnier (TNC) and Cam Owen Gill).

• Gill 113111 Cam Owen/Suz Ghent

Race Two

The wind had started to drop off in the second race making it more challenging as the wind swung around more. Although going to the beach seemed to work it was far from certain. Every now and again there was some big squirts, one of them blew over three boats mid-fleet. Let the shuffle continue. It’s more like a betting on a slot machine, than calling the wind.

Race Three

Race three took some getting away with a postponement flag pulled within two minute of the first start time. Some furtive repositioning of the pin end of the start line and general recall and the expected arrival of the black flag. With most of the fleet tried the beach again which after some scary moments eventually paid off. The downwind was patchy with the rear of the fleet getting good breeze behind them to catch up the front-runners. The second up wind was like navigating the Bermuda Triangle. Gill found some good breeze on the right of the course while the front runners had gone down the beach again. Gill rounded the top mark well ahead and held that until the finish.
