2 Prizes in 1 Day!

Its been a long time since I posted anything but we have been sailing and winning. But not races.

The Balmain Regatta gave us another opportunity to bring out the rainbow flags. And this time our style was appreciated and rewarded with first prize for best dressed boat. Way to go girls!



And this is Tony Partridge who is Cruising Captain at Balmain with me, Terina and Julie accepting our prize.

And then after an interesting race we went ashore at the Balmain Sailing Club which was jumping with dinghy races, a band, beer and the prize giving. Sadly we did not do too well on handicap in the race but I did win the raffle! And am now the proud owner of a Walker 8 white plastic dinghy with blue seats. And it has a spot to put a centre board and a mast so I can sail it as well. Could be fun in Broken Bay.


Two other ASCC boats raced but not very happily. This is Leapfrog skippered by Scott Davis in the Classic division
