A tough day at the office....

Day 3 of the 2025 Vaikobi National Windsurfer Class Championships at Toronto Amateur Sailing Club NSW, 22nd- 26th.
The morning session completed the remaining two-course races. Race 1 Conditions were cloudy 5-10 knots from the SSE, then race 2 increased to 10-15 knots from the same direction with a few gusts punching towards 20 knots.

Sailors returned to shore for lunch before the pending Marathon in the afternoon.
Marathon... It was a case of hook-in and hang-on.
A SSE breeze of 20-25 knots took charge and it was only the brave that could handle the testing conditions. Just to make it more interesting breeze increased nudging north of 30 knots. This made for blistering speed which either made you smile or put the fear of god in you!
