Dec 2nd- Raglan Beach

 

Nineteen boats fronted up to Raglan for the first round of the West coast challenge. And surf there was!  Racing began at 11am with surf running at 3-4 ft with the odd 6ft set creating a challenge for some of the new crews. Remarkably no one flipped in the first 2 brackets of heats. As a long course was set to cope with the outgoing tide the races were run over 4 laps and then eventually shortened to 3.

 

The big event of the day was CSI winning their first race and showing some class in the surf.

Despite no flips in the morning the afternoon was a different story with several boats going over in the blustery winds.

Winner of the day was Plumbquick with a stand in copilot (Jonno ex co pilot for Diesel) who is keen to offer his services this season.

Second place went to Ruff rider who remarkably had never been in surf yet proved too strong for some of the more experienced crews. 

Thanks again to marshalls Sandra, Alison, Gary as Rd with assistance from Brent McConnell, Starter Graeme and Mike Graves on D Buoy
