Overall Winner for the Weekend FUJITSU
HEATPUMPS
It was great to
see a turnout of 25 boats for a club day and encouraging
to see the enthusiasm of the new crews
to the sport. Despite the fact there were 2 injuries (as seen on TV)
within the first bracket of heats, racing for the rest of the day
was efficient but uneventful.
All boats were so
evenly matched there was no room for error at the start and it was
the slick work of rookies Fujitsu, (Gareth Wing and
Stu
?) and the more experienced crews of Tahitian dark rum (Mark
Ross and Robbie Glen) and Reaction Screen print (Brent McConnell and
Stacey Aitken) which resulted in 1st
2nd and 3rd places respectively for the day.
Those who attended
the after match cocktail party were fortunate to receive their
medals from the CSI promo girls.
These girls were
hired by their generous sponsor (Anthony from CSI) to support the
CSI boys (and to distract the other teams) on the day.
The good news was
that both injured parties, Tony
Vercauteren (MORE FM) with a severe bump to the head )and Darren
Jessop (Spaceships) with a nose cone to the head and a prop guard to
his arse were both able to make it to
the prize giving that evening.
Sunday morning saw
a few hangovers and a 46km surf sprint down to
Parkiri and return. Some of the new crews showed their speed
in a long haul race (although some also flipped) but the eventual
winner was Fujitsu who also won the gold medal for the weekend.
Second in the sprint was ruff rider (also rookies) and third was
More FM with a stand in driver Dave Davis.
Thanks for the
weekend must go to Tony and Hannah for organizing a great weekend,
AJ for a great job as RD, Gary and Alison Morrison as Marshals,
Sandra Davis our Race secretary and lap scorer,
Trudi (from Dickies) as our ever
helpful nurse, Barry from Inflatable Boat Repairs for his behind the
scenes work and Matt and Amanda Coyne (PCI Electrical) for offering
their house (bad move) for the after match party.
It is also great
to have this year a mixture of young and old crews plus many
families and supporters on the beach.
Next race is at
Raglan on Saturday December 2 which should definitely promise surf.
